Social Contact Program (SoCon) πŸ”’

To support the integration of incoming students and researchers, DIII-D offers a Social Contact program (SoCon). The program ensures that every interested newcomer participates in a monthly meeting with their assigned DIII-D team member, engaging in social activities such as lunch, coffee, dinner, or virtual meetings. Through this pairing with an experienced DIII-D team member, the SoCon serves as a guide to help new team members seamlessly integrate into the DIII-D ecosystem.Β
