Campus Connection is Tech San Diego's exclusive newsletter for university STEM students in San Diego!

"Get Inspired!"

As college graduation season is around the corner, I can't help but get inspired by all the pomp and circumstance of the commencement celebrations ahead! This time of the year is exciting for our new tech talent to take their next steps from college to career!

I spent some time at the SDSU Career Fair helping students practice their pitch and it was inspiring to see the elevated confidence of our soon-to-be university graduates! This month's newsletter is centered on that inspiration as you will listen, interact with and read stories that will positively move you on your STEM journey! Enjoy being inspired to new heights on this edition of Campus Connection!
