Selecting a mentor to oversee a student’s scientific training and development is a vital first step in 
the journey towards a Ph.D. The Fall 2017 cohort of students have successfully selected a mentor and research concentration. The Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences recognized this important milestone with an inaugural Mentor-Match Celebration on August 16, 2018.
Dr. Thomas Rowe, Associate Dean for Graduate Education, Dr. Adrian Tyndall, Interim Dean of the College of Medicine, and Dr. Bert Flanegan, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department Chair, along with our 2017 cohort of students and their mentors celebrated this milestone as they further commit to their Ph.D. path.
