Department Seminar

In Fall 2015, the GSC started a student-run and hosted department seminar series. This Fall Distinguished Lecture series seeks to bring renown, compelling speakers to BU and gives students the chance to network and mingle with experts in their fields.

All members of the BME student community are welcome to participate on Department Seminar Committee! You can suggest a speaker, sign up to get lunch with the speaker or become part of the committee by emailing bmegsc@bu.edu.
