Our 2023 INSSECT NET Careers Symposium provided a fun and engaging online platform for undergraduate students to learn about how graduate school can lead to a rewarding and well-paying career in a STEM field.
Our mission is to showcase the diversity of careers that are available to recent Penn State Entomology graduates by introducing you to some of our PSU alums. Our alumni discussed how graduate school allowed them to pursue their career and answered questions about the graduate student experience. The symposium also introduces Penn State's annual Summer Research Opportunities Program (SROP), where you can get paid to come to Penn State and work in a STEM lab as part of a 10-week research internship!
