Biomed end of course celebration
There was a buzz in the air of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (BDI) foyer on Wednesday 17 October, as more than 80 students congregated to mark the end of their Bachelor of Biomedical Science.
The event was a celebration of the graduating class of 2018. Associate Professor Liz Davis, Deputy Director Education at the Monash BDI, gave a speech encouraging all of the students to be open to the opportunities that may come their way.
“I wish you all the best in your endeavours, and hope that you keep in touch to let us know where your future takes you,” Associate Professor Davis said.
During the celebration, students had the opportunity to have a professional headshot taken by photographers from the Monash Photography Club. With these headshots, students had the chance to set up a LinkedIn account and connect with the Monash Biomedical Sciences Alumni community, in order to keep in contact with the ever-expanding network.
Students were also able to say thank you and goodbye to their educators, who had taught them at one point in their degree, over canapés and drinks. Professor John Carroll, Director Monash BDI, Associate Professor Davis, Dr Daniel Czech, Dr Brad Broughton, Professor Mike Ryan, Associate Professor Basia Diug, Dr Chantal Hoppe and Associate Professor Julia Choate all attended.
The event was a great success, with the group spilling out into the garden between the Monash BDI buildings.
Congratulations to the class of 2018!
