This is happening on the main campus tomorrow night :D

Tomorrow is the National Science Foundation (NSF) REU talk and chili cookoff! This is not something you want to miss! We have special guests from the biotech community coming so this will be a prime networking opportunity!

Your voices were heard in Senate today, and the To***co Free Campus Resolution was passed. Good job guys!

Don't forget: Today from 2-4 is the Biotechnology open house! Stop by to learn about some of the programs that Santa Fe has to offer and to learn about the biotechnology field! Our keynote speaker is Dr. Douglas Rodriguez, Senior Biomedical Engineer from NovaBone Products! Pizza will be provided.

Biotech Club: Our next meeting is Tuesday, October 18th at 3:30 PM. We are gearing up for our Biotechnology Open House.

IT IS OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU ATTEND. We have seen almost zero attendance for our first two meetings of the semester, and if this continues, we will forfeit all of our funds from Student Life. We have a ton of cool things planned for everyone, but if you do not attend, it will disappear forever. YOU NEED TO RSVP TO THE TEAM MEETING IN eCONNECT SO WE KNOW HOW MUCH PIZZA TO BUY.
