ASC Grad: P&G Mason Business & Innovation Center Immersion Day

The application for the ASC Grad: P&G Mason Business & Innovation Center Immersion Day is officially active! Please encourage your students to apply—the folks at P&G have created a wonderful itinerary for the attendees and it will be a great opportunity for anyone interested.

ASC Graduate Career Success will be hosting 20 graduate-level STEM students for an Immersion Experience to P&G’s Mason Business & Innovation Center on Thursday, October 10, 2024.

During this visit, graduate-level students and postdocs can expect to:

  • Go behind the scenes: Tour the largest community of P&G R&D teams in the world—featuring focus-specific tours for Analytical Chemistry, Life Sciences (Microbiology/Cell Biology), and Upstream Technology/Corporate Function Labs.
  • Engage with P&G leaders: Meet with the innovative scientists, researchers, and experts behind P&G’s products.
  • Learn from recent graduate hires: Connect with a panel of recently hired graduate students and post-docs about their journey from academia to industry!

Busing may be available for students, however, at this time this is not guaranteed. A question about carpooling is included in the event that we cannot secure busing due to high demand around the Fall Break holiday.

All STEM PhD students and postdocs in the College of Arts and Sciences and College of Engineering are encouraged to apply. As Adam has mentioned previously, we’d appreciate extending an invite to those students who have participated in the Chemistry Bridge program as well as who have worked on P&G products.
