Stanford University Photonics Retreat
Working in a lab outside of my own department has been both rewarding and challenging. I've greatly benefited from being surrounded by and learning from those outside my field. However, being disconnected from other electrical engineers can be lonely too! Fortunately, the Stanford Optical Society, a student chapter of OSA and SPIE, runs a yearly retreat to unite optics researchers from different departments together for a weekend program of guest speakers, professional workshops, expert panels, and networking. I've had the pleasure of participating in, organizing, and being the program chair of the Stanford University Photonics Retreat (SUPR).
