Student/Professional Mixer, With DOOR PRIZES!
This year we will be trying something a little different to increase the interaction between Students and Professionals.  We have gathered some great items for a drawing that will be held during the evening social.  The only thing is you can't buy tickets.  When you check in to get your registration packet we will give all Students a few RED tickets and all Professionals a few BLUE tickets.  To sign up for the drawing its simple, Students can only turn in BLUE tickets and Professionals can only turn in RED tickets.  Now for a student to "earn" BLUE tickets they must ask any Professional about their job (e.g. what research are they involved in?, what type of sampling do they do?, what are their major responsibilities at the Hatchery?, etc...).  Likewise, Professionals can "earn" RED tickets from the students by asking them questions about their career path (e.g. what internships have you had?, what research have you been involved with?, etc...).  We will also be asking students and professionals to approach those they don't already know!  Tickets can be exchanged at any time during the conference but the best time will be right after dinner during the social.  Oh, and we will limit everyone to three tickets each.
