On Thursday, November 7, the Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) program will proudly host its 3rd annual Advancement to Candidacy Celebration. This event honors third-year BIMS students who have successfully passed their qualifying exams in the spring and are now embarking on their journey toward earning their PhDs.

This year, 53 students from 9 different BIMS programs will be recognized. Each student will be introduced by their respective Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) and will receive a certificate of advancement and a challenge coin from their mentor.

The Advancement to Candidacy Celebration marks the final milestone for the 2022 BIMS student cohort as a group. From this point forward, each student will continue on their individual path toward their PhD. BIMS takes great pride in commemorating this significant achievement with a ceremony, reception, and celebration.

The event is open to faculty, students, and friends. Those unable to attend in person are invited to join via Zoom.

Join us in celebrating the hard work and dedication of these future scientists as they advance to the next stage of their academic careers.
