On Saturday, April 28th, Rutgers is having its annual Rutgers Day and Engineering Open House. This is a day when all of the Rutgers societies have booths across Busch campus displaying cool things we've done throughout the year and answering questions for prospective students and current students interested in getting more involved.
AEMB will be co-hosting a table with BMES representing biomedical engineering here at Rutgers and we will need at least 2-3 AEMB and BMES members at the table at all times. Volunteering at this event is a great way to bond with your peers and practice communicating effectively to those that are unfamiliar with Rutgers and/or BME. It's really a lot of fun to talk to kids that are really enthusiastic about learning about research and what college is all about.
If you are a member of AEMB, please follow this link to sign up to volunteer. Otherwise, feel free to stop by our booth on the engineering lawn on Busch!

The annual BME Shadow Day, co-sponsered with BMES, is coming up in just over a week! This event gives any interested undergraduates the opportunity to tour up to three labs in the biomedical engineering deparment at Rutgers, speaking with the professor and graduate students from the lab. It is a great opportunity to get a tour of labs you are interested in joining before making a definite commitment, especially for freshmen and sophomores planning on joining the BME Honors Academy program.
This year, there are eight labs participating and each has up to three time slots between 9am and 12pm on Wednesday, April 11th. It is required to RSVP for this event since space for each tour is limited. Tours will meet in the BME main lobby and free food and refreshments will also be served. Please click here to sign up.

The Rutgers School of Engineering Honors Council is composed of all Engineering Honors Societies and members of the Honors Program and is proud to bring you the first ever Industry Mentorship Program!
You are exclusively eligible to partake in the first ever Industry Mentorship Program where you will be paired up with an industry leader. This pair of mentor/mentee will meet ~once every 2 weeks for 8 meetings in a semester at a local cafe or bakery. The mentor will ideally serve as a role model and provide insight into industry as far as how to apply concepts learned in the classrooms to solve real world problems, successful networking techniques, provide a company tour/visit, discuss phone interviewing skills, among other topics of interest.
This is a great opportunity for you to get to know an industry leader on a one on one basis, network with the Vice Presidents and Project Managers of leading companies, and potentially land your dream internship/job.
If you are interested in applying to this program, please fill out the application form by this Thursday February 16th at 11:59 PM. Limited mentors are available, applications will be reviewed by the Honors Council and a decision will be made by Monday, February 20th.
For more information, contact the Rutgers School of Engineering Honors Council at http://egc.rutgers.edu/ruhonorscouncil.
