ITP Graduating Students: due to popular demand ITP Grad Launch is back! It is set for Thursday, May 17, 2-7 pm. We are still in the planning stages so the exact timings and session topics are still being updated and added — please keep checking back. Please sign up for your preferred choices by adding a comment. Refreshments and a light dinner will be served. Thanks and see you there! As a reminder, this event is an opportunity for ITP alumni and industry professionals to exchange tips for making a living with our new 2012 ITP graduates. We hope the ITP Community can learn about typical paths, challenges, rewards, funding opportunities, lowering overhead, customs, titles, salaries, interview techniques etc. ITP grads go in many different, often pioneering directions after graduation. To keep this event relevant we have put together a wide range of topics for sessions to come directly from the people working in the fields and the graduating students who want to go there.
