Just need a break after midterms ended? The BSA will be holding a coffee chat/registration help and we will be providing drinks and snacks! Even if you know your schedule, come and stop by to talk to other students and help them! Or just grab some snacks!

Summer Internship Panel: November 3rd 6-7 pm Raiser Lounge – Focusing on first year students, come and talk to some 2nd year students who have been through the process of applying to and completing a summer internship. The panelists are still TBD but it will be a great way to get some of your questions answered! For 2nd year students, we are still looking for 2-3 more students to be on the panel. Each panelist will get a small token for participating. If you are interested, please send the BSA board an email with “Summer Internship Panel” in the subject line.

For second years and above, this is a great opportunity to network and for first years, this will be a chance to see where our degree can take you before finalizing your spring classes or summer internship choices!

Hi everyone! I am a 1st year student in the Biopharmaceutical/ Engineering Biotechnology track. I am from India and I did my B.E in Biotechnology from P.E.S Institute of Technology, Bangalore. I currently work in the Bioengineering Undergrad Laboratory and my career focus is to get into the consulting and management sector of Healthcare Industries, particularly Biopharmaceutical Companies. I am also a Professional Indian Classical Dancer and a Yoga enthusiast. I love to swim and I enjoy travelling as well.

 

Mike Wang: GSEG Rep

I am a first-year Master’s in Biotechnology student currently pursuing the Biopharmaceutical/Engineering Biotechnology Track. I recently graduated from UCLA last spring with a degree in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics. As a new member of the BSA board, I am interested in connecting with my fellow biotechnology students through a variety of events and activities. I hope to assist in BSA’s mission to address the important issues of the student community and improving the quality of student life. As BSA’s GSEG representative, I wish to represent BSA’s interests to the GSEG board.
