Another regular feature of campus life sponsored by the Society of Fellows is a symposium in the spring and fall, at which postdocs and graduate students present their work. Molecular Biology Graduate Student Erika Saphire Ollmann was awarded an honorable mention. The Society of Fellows' social events include parties, beach picnics, wine tastings, and other outings. Postdoctoral fellows and graduate students often come from afar and arrive knowing few people in San Diego. The bulk of the society's activities are funded by a one-day vendor show, which is scheduled for May 23 this year.
Companies pay a fee to set up booths and display their wares on campus.
We focus on raising money with this one event so the rest of the time we can focus on spending it.
