Important BMES News


Hello BIOE students and BMES members,

First of all, we would like to thank you all very much for making our very first BMES student dinner a success. We had over 50 students attend on Friday, which is great.
Pictures from the dinner will be posted on the website very soon.

That being said, we will be having our

4th General Body Meeting of the Fall 2009 semester
Tuesday, November 10th at 4PM or 5PM.



Two speakers from Hollister Inc. will be coming in to talk about various aspects of their company. Hollister Inc. is a medical product company founded in Chicago in 1921 and headquartered here in Illinois. Detailed information about them can be found at http://www.hollister.com/. More specifically Brian Will (of Human Resources) and Joel Shutt (of Research and Development) will discuss:

- General Information about Hollister Inc. (including a brief history)
- Descriptions of their major products and focus areas
- The role of bioengineers/biomedical engineers in the company
- Information on careers/internships/co-ops

We will also be going over:

- Status updates from board members regarding IEEE EMBS, EWH, High School Outreach program, etc
