  Join Reika Herman ‘24, Catherine Kish ‘24, and Daniel Allen ‘24 for a virtual group chat about what it’s like to work at this federally funded research and development center. Each will talk about their highlights from Midd, and a little about their research areas. RAND is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization that provides leaders with the information they need to make evidence-based decisions. A major focus of the conversation will be about how to make the most of networking, and the role it plays in hiring at the firm. Applications will be opening soon. Bring your questions.
