On October 18th BioEngage hosted the first Industry Mixer in preparation for the upcoming SEBA Career Fair. There were 8 companies in attendance including: Juno Therapeutics, Accenture, WL Gore, Physio-Control, Philips, Pacific BioMarkers, Just Biotherapeutics and Becton-Dickinson. Over 87 students attended this event, making it one of the most successful BioEngage events thus far.
The night started off with 6 companies (Physio-Control, Philips, WL Gore, BD, Accenture and Juno Therapeutics) giving brief 10 minute “info sessions” and discussing their current job openings. After the info sessions, students and company reps spent the remaining time mingling and networking in the Foege lobby over refreshments and light hor d’oeuvres. Many of the students were able to make valuable connections with the companies in attendance.
BioEngage is planning to hold another Industry Mixer in February 2017 in preparation for the Internship Career Fair. Look for more information on this event in the coming months…
