Genentech came back with more opportunities for anyone interested in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and etc. This event was a great networking opportunity and provided insight into Genentech's internship program, their general work environment, and more. All life science and engineering majors were welcomed to come learn more details from multiple Genentech representatives. This event was Genentech’s largest informational session at UCSD this year! Bring your resumes and please dress in business casual attire.**
**Because of the huge interest and a need to facilitate the networking session afterwards, there is an RSVP form. The earlier you sign up, the more likely you will be to have 1 on 1 time with Genentech representatives. Those who do not RSVP will get the opportunity if time permits- which is no guarantee.
