“We are pleased to again offer the Ph.D. and Vet Student Career Fair at IPPE 2025 allowing companies to connect with talented individuals who can contribute to the next generation of scientific leadership,” said Jarod Morrison, USPOULTRY Foundation chair. “This is an excellent service that our two organizations can offer to the poultry and allied industries, especially those with needs in genetics, health, pharmaceuticals and nutrition. Moreover, this opportunity is available in one centralized location, in collaboration with the IPSF, providing a convenient benefit for both students and industry companies.”

Each participating company will receive a table and two chairs, and are encouraged to bring literature, pop-up banners and/or other company information to give to prospective candidates. The deadline for companies to sign up is Jan. 3. There is no cost to sign up or for students to participate.
