Created at LESA and traditionally held during our annual Industry-Academia Days, the Perfect Pitch was broadly adopted by the National Science Foundation as a requirement for ERCs. The Perfect Pitch presentations at previous IADays have had a tremendously positive impact as a training ground for our students.
