A Message from James Jackson:
I extend my gratitude to all BMI faculty, students, and staff for providing such a rewarding professional experience and for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment over the past seventeen months. Thank you. Being part of your scientific and academic community is an honor and a privilege. Moving forward, I will serve the Department of Pharmacology in the role of Academic Services Officer, primarily engaged in student-related endeavors – developing professionalization and writing skills workshops, maintaining GRA payment stipends and funds, and reporting statistical data on programming and student progress. I wish you all well, and I look forward to collaborating in the future. See you in the hallways of Scott Hall soon!
- James
