IEEE Solid-States Circuits Magazine - Spring 2023 - 95

This was the first in-person ISSCC
after the pandemic, and students
and young professionals alike were
ready to meet and network with
each other. Rami Hijab, a Ph.D. student
at the University of California
Mentors and mentees sharing fun facts from bingo cards during the mentoring event.
" It was a great experience
participating in the WiC-organized
mentoring session
on Sunday afternoon. As an
early-career professional myself,
I found it most useful to
facilitate discussion between
mentees, whether they were
graduate students or seasoned
professionals reentering
the workforce. "
This event was open to all, and due
to social media advertising, also
had attendance from engineers who
came to San Francisco from the Bay
Area just to attend the event.
(UC) Berkeley, said:
" I attended virtually in 2022,
but the ability to connect with
peers, discuss promising research
ideas, and generally
share common ground was
unparalleled in comparison
to the COVID years past. I was
able to meet someone at each
table who shared my interests
in food, culture/heritage, or
sports and hobbies. "
Participants stayed long after the
event had ended to continue their
discussions.
