"Brown Bag" Mentoring Lunches

The HFES 50th Annual Meeting offers a unique opportunity for students and early career and transitional professionals to meet established professionals in the HF/E field.

A series of informal mentor-mentee lunches will be held during the lunch break (12:00-1:30 p.m.) on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, October 17-19. Lunch will be provided to all attendees. Professionals participating last year represented a Who's Who of some of the Society's most respected members, including past presidents and officers. We expect many of these professionals to join us again this year, with different professionals participating each day. To keep the lunches intimate and informal, attendance will be limited to 25 (20 students and 5 professionals) per session. Reservations will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis, and a waiting list will be established in case of cancellations.

Please RSVP to Haydee Cuevas by September 25, 2006, to reserve your place. When responding, please indicate the specific day you wish to attend (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday). Also indicate your field of interest (e.g., aviation, HCI, systems engineering) and career path (e.g., academia, industry, government).
