Join Me For Coffee with Diana Bernstein

MASS AWIS is offering an opportunity to make professional connections across a variety of career paths. The ‘Join Me for Coffee’ event series provides a chance to meet with a STEM professional for 1 hour online or in-person. Participants will not only learn about that person’s career but also establish a new professional connection. These events are a great opportunity for participants to practice networking in an intimate setting, a skill that helps open doors to meaningful careers in STEM.

The upcoming ‘Join Me for Coffee’ event will be in-person (with option for virtual) and will feature Dr. Diana Bernstein. If you would like to participate in this ‘Join Me for Coffee’ event, first complete the event application form. A committee will then review all applications and select 4-6 participants for each event. Selected applicants will be notified by email at least one week prior to the event.
