Alumni Reception

October 2024 Alumni Reception: Baltimore, MD

RSVP HERE!

Dear Lehigh Alumni, Industry Partners, and current Lehigh students/staff/faculty:

Lehigh University Department of Bioengineering's Alumni Networking Reception on Thursday, October 24th, 2024 at The Center Club, 100 Light Street, Baltimore, MD 21202. This event is formatted cocktail style with several food stations, and will be held from 7:30PM-9:30PM.

We look forward to connecting with Lehigh alumni, students, and staff at this event, which coincides with our visit to Baltimore for the annual BMES conference. The off-site reception venue is within walking distance of the Baltimore Convention Center, and those who attend the reception are not required to attend the BMES conference - we welcome any alumni from the area to join us. 

We are hosting this event to provide a space to make new connections; renew our old connections; strengthen our past, current, and future partnerships; and to cultivate a shared vision of future engagement. At Lehigh, we prepare students to be critical thinkers, problem solvers, and innovators. The Department of Bioengineering offers a wide array of opportunities for companies to engage with student talent and to help build a pipeline of future industry, clinical, and academic leaders.

Some engagement opportunities we are hoping to develop include:

• Career Exploration and Professional Development (host site visits, mentor a graduate student, visit our campus for networking opportunities, etc)
• Academic Engagement (deliver a guest lecture, mentor a research project, serve on a thesis committee, etc)
• Experiential Training (mentor students on job-simulation challenges, offer internships, host teams for on-site projects, etc)
• Corporate Giving (develop scholarships, cover student travel to conferences, sponsor a research project, etc)

By attending this mixer, we hope to begin planting seeds of engagement and find ways for you to become involved that are unique to you and your experience.
