A Note from the Alumni Advisory Board Chair

It is a privilege to serve as the Chair of the Alumni Advisory Board. The UF BME community has always been defined by its collaborative spirit, and our board is committed to ensuring that spirit continues long after graduation. We are working to create more opportunities for alumni to come together, learn from one another, and give back to the students following in our footsteps. Go Gators!
