The University of Maryland's Fischell Department of Bioengineering (BIOE) is excited to announce a free virtual Fireside Chat event series, hosted by members of the BIOE advisory board. Please note, this is the rescheduled kickoff event, postponed from Feb. 18th, due to the university's inclement weather closure.

During our first event, Careers for Engineers in Consulting, you'll gain unique perspectives from BIOE advisory board chair Mr. Claudio Knizek (Boston Consulting Group) as he sits down with fellow BIOE advisory board member Dr. Emily English (Baltimore Venture Partners).
