The University of Maryland chapter of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES–UMD) will host a free virtual Alumni Networking Event on Tuesday, May 4th, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. ET.

This event will gather Fischell Department of Bioengineering (BIOE) and Biological Resources Engineering alumni from across the country, as well as current BIOE students, advisory board members, and friends of the department! Following keynote remarks by Dr. Patricia Gonzales Hurtado (B.S. '03 chemical engineering), Scientific Review Officer at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (see bio below), participants will take part in two rounds of small networking groups based on their identified areas of interest. After the close of the event, guests will have the option to self-select into an additional networking breakout.

This event is designed to allow students a chance to forge connections with those working in the field so that they can ask questions concerning their future as a bioengineer. In turn, our alumni and friends of the department will network with one another while gaining invaluable insights and a unique perspective on how the field – and the bioengineering curriculum – is evolving.

This event is free to attend and open to everyone – but you must register by no later than Monday, May 3rd, in order to ensure you are matched with a networking group that aligns with your interests.

5:30–5:35 p.m. Welcome from Dr. John P. Fisher, BIOE chair
