The fully online, Summer Speaker Series at Keck Graduate Institute (KGI) in Claremont, CA, will introduce students to potential careers in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and other biomedical industries.

Those participating will learn about a wide range of career alternatives from young professionals working in these industries. The program shares speakers from various backgrounds and is designed for those earlier in their career planning (such as lower-division students), as well as those who (due to work or other factors) cannot commit to the full-time summer program. To participate, students will need to register on the KGI events webpages.
