Take your laptop outside, find a nice spot under a tree, and look over these career events, tips, resources, and opportunities as you enjoy some fresh air and sunshine!

Join UPOP for a first-year exclusive event!
The MIT Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program (UPOP) is a yearlong professional development program exclusively for sophomores focused on building the relevant and critical skills necessary for a career in industry, research or academia. UPOP helps students find summer internships and research opportunities through its long list of company partners, including Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Lockheed Martin.
Join UPOP for POPtalks, a series of talks presented by our industry mentors on a particular topic, and experience what UPOP has to offer. This series, "To Err is Human," focuses on overcoming obstacles, growing from failure, and learning to be personally accountable. Following the POPTalks, attendees will have the chance to connect with our speakers and participate in a Q&A.
Speakers:
Kevin Rustagi ’11, Director of Business Development at LIFT Aircraft
