Lab matchmaking (end of January) - Rapid virtual meetings that allow you to meet with many BME faculty, learn about their research, and share your own interests for grad school.
Graduate research day (February 21) - Top prospective students will be invited to the university for meetings with faculty, current students, and lab tours.
