Career Events
Your career path is long. Take the time to explore. Attending talks and workshops is a great way to think about your path: how to find and navigate it, and how to thrive on it.
All events are open to the entire Stanford community - students, alumni, staff, and faculty unless otherwise stated.

Professional Headshots
Your headshot is a key component of your LinkedIn profile page, your 'on the team' page at your future workplace, and talk descriptions for conference appearances. Make it the best it can be. Sign up into a 15 minute window during this event to have your headshot taken by a professional. This autumn session will produce photos with a neutral background so you'll be able to use it for a longer time.
This opportunity is open only to students within the MS&E department (ie, declared undergraduates, matriculated graduate students). An email will be sent to the student lists with details about how and when to sign up for a slot.
Internship Panel
