Stephen Probert, UW ME alumnus (BS 05, MS 07) and teammate, presented a company PowerPoint to share with BioE students on what the culture is like at WL Gore, and what the majority of their medical products are. Stephen has been with Gore for nine years and his teammate 10 years. They described all the uses of Gore materials and brought a bin full of stents, tubes, and patches to pass around the table. The students were able to talk with Stephen about technology, product design, internships, resume formatting, and interview techniques; to name a few. Our students loved the opportunity to have this intimate discussion with a leading biotech company.
