Event Info:
The purpose of ESE’s Quarterly Alum Talk is to discuss the unique ways our students arrive to Stanford, the tools they used to be successful at the University, and the many ways they are using their degrees from ESE after graduation.
These talks have included alums who’s careers were meticulously planned, and others who took unexpected paths.
Prof. Wen Song of UT Austin joined us on November 18th, 2022 to share her story (the decision to come to Stanford, her research at Stanford, and her work in Academia). If you are interested in a job in Academia, this talk will be helpful to you. If you are not particularly interested in working in Academia, we encourage you to watch the talk. Professor Song shared a valuable insights that can apply to any student at Stanford or anyone interested in energy. You will likely discover that a degree in Energy can be used in many ways and this talk can open you up to new possibilities for your own future.
