VAST Summer Program:
The VAST Summer Program encompasses a series of workshops and seminars targeted to undergraduate trainees in the field of VCI to help with overall VCI knowledge, research skills, and networking. While targeted to undergraduates, all are welcome to attend. This series is coordinated by our VAST Trainee Curriculum Committee members. We'd encourage everyone to invite trainees in their labs. Sessions are organized biweekly for Tuesdays beginning at 4pm eastern time / 2pm mountain time / 1pm pacific time. The series will finish with our annual Summer Student Symposium at the end of August (date TBD but save Aug 20 at 12-3pm eastern in your calendar)! All trainees who attend at least 4 of the sessions, as well as the symposium, will be awarded a certificate of completion. All trainees are welcome to sign up and attend the program.
