What does it look like to turn a UW-Madison engineering education into a career as a global tech leader?
This is your chance to connect with a Badger engineer who’s been where you are—and then made a significant impact on our world.
Join the University of Wisconsin’s College of Engineering Dean, Devesh Ranjan, for a conversation and audience Q&A with Jim Thompson, retired Qualcomm chief technology officer, and an alum of UW-Madison’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department (BS ’85, MS ’87, PhD ’91). You’ll learn:
- How Jim’s Badger engineering experience launched his career
- What contributed to his success (and what he wishes he’d known early on)
- How he transitioned from engineer to tech leader
- How engineering is evolving—and how you can keep pace with that change
Reception, snacks, and networking to follow.
