On the Road: MilliporeSigma

INSTEAD OF BRINGING THE COMPANIES TO CAMPUS, WE’RE TAKING YOU TO THE COMPANY!

Join us for a unique student experience at MilliporeSigma’s Rockville site, where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the biotechnology industry. This visit will include an organizational overview, site tour, networking lunch, and a panel session with staff representing a variety of roles and backgrounds. You’ll gain exposure to different areas across the company — from lab work to quality assurance, operations, and more — all designed to introduce you to the exciting possibilities in biotech and contract testing services.

Registration details will become available when the event gets closer. Free transportation will be provided, but an RSVP in Handshake will be required.
