HGSE Orientation 2023 - 2024
Welcome to the Project Zero Orientation Week Homepage!
Project Zero, a HGSE Research center that leads work around the world on thinking, learning, creativity, ethics, and other human potentials, will be hosting two back-to-back sessions on Thursday, August 31, from 9-10 am in the Gutman Conference Center Areas 4 & 5.
Please join us from 9-9:30 am in Gutman Conference Center Areas 4 & 5 to learn a bit about Project Zero’s research, impact, what we are excited about, and what we have coming up. This session will start promptly at 9 am.
Then, from 9:30 -10 am, please join us for an informal drop-in “open house” session to connect with individual PZ researchers in small group discussions to learn about potential job opportunities and other ways to engage with PZ during the year at HGSE.
