• Message from Student Social Committee, Taylor Vensko and Jillian Green.
The 2021 BMI Department Picnic is quickly approaching! We are excited to get together and see new and
old faces alike. It’s getting to that time where we will be collecting donations to help fund this event. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
For convenience, donations can be sent to Taylor Vensko through PayPal using:
(https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/tvensko27).
If cash is preferred, Taylor will visit labs to collect donations.
Donations for this year are:
$5 for students
$20 for faculty
The Student Social Committee will be providing the main dish which will be hotdogs, hamburgers, and black bean burgers. Alcohol is permitted, but will not be provided. Sides or extra dishes to pass are more than welcome.
Please see the attached flyer for all necessary information and hopefully some biochemistry/microbiology- friendly graphics. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
Cheers,
Taylor and Jillian
