Welcome to Growing Up Comm. I'm Sarah Palin-Leiderman, Research Assistant Professor of Medical Social Sciences at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Today we'll be talking about preparing for the upcoming ICA conference. Topics will focus on the opportunities and highlights for this year's ICA event, how to create connections with people during downtime, and in depth advice on how to navigate the ICA conference. I've invited Laura Sawyer, Jennifer Le, and Noshir Contractor to join me in this discussion. All this, and so much more!
