Are you interested in knowing where a career in STEM can lead you? Join Nordion on November 27th in the SSSC as they discuss “Improving Global Healthcare using STEM”.

For over 70 years, Nordion has been a world leader in the medical and industrial radioisotope industry for the prevention and treatment of disease. Nordion’s success in the protection of people and the environment relies on people with STEM backgrounds. STEM personnel also assist Nordion in navigating and complying with global regulations as a nuclear facility. Through this talk, Nordion will provide an overview of what they do, and focus on how Nordion employs STEM personnel in a regulatory and Quality Assurance environment – a career that is not often considered by STEM students.

**All students who attend will be entered to win $50 on their Campus Card!** Please register through Carleton Central, and click on Science Student Success Centre under the mySuccess tab.
