Description
This year NSCS is planning the best convention yet! We have an amazing line up of speakers including Michael Uslan, the man behind the Batman movies, and our headliner Kevin Carroll who is sure to inspire you into discovering your Red Rubber Ball.
On top of these great speakers, we are also offering amazing networking opportunities with our top partners and grad school affiliates. This will be the opportunity for you to get to know your future employer or discuss your future thesis. By the time you leave, you won’t even know what the words ‘bad economy’ mean.
Besides these great opportunities convention is a great way for you to interact and network with people from your chapter and chapters from across the nation. It’s also the perfect time of year to see Washington, DC.
Come prepared to work and play - this year’s Convention is designed with you in mind!
