2024-2025 Schedule:
Join us for Lunch with the BTP Bunch—a community-building event for current and past BTP students, faculty, and affiliates.
We’re excited to host Lunch with the BTP Bunch, a redesigned event created in response to student feedback and tailored to meet the evolving needs of our BTP community. This year, we’re focusing on professional development, scientific skills and communication, and career advancement, all while providing a supportive space for students, alumni, and faculty to connect and grow.
Why is this event different?
In November, BTP kicked off their Lunch with the BTP Bunch series with an inspiring event! BTP Program Manager Bailee Underwood led a gratitude wall exercise, where students filled the walls with heartfelt notes of appreciation. A beautiful reminder of the power of gratitude!
This year, students have taken the lead in shaping this series of events to focus on key areas of growth: refining scientific presentation skills, receiving feedback on their work, and learning professional skills that are essential for success in the biotech field. Whether you’re a BTP student looking to improve your scientific and professional skills, a BTP alum seeking new ways to stay involved, or a faculty member wanting to stay connected with the next generation of biotech professionals, this event series is for you.
At Lunch with the BTP Bunch, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Enhance your scientific presentation skills: Present your research in front of a supportive audience and receive constructive feedback to improve your science and communication.
- Build professional and technical skills: Participate in hands-on workshops and expert-led sessions focused on career growth, job search strategies, and making the most of internships and other professional opportunities.
- Network and connect: Engage with a diverse group of current students, alumni, and faculty in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
We believe that the best way to succeed is by fostering an open, feedback-rich community where everyone can find the support they need.
Looking Ahead:
Lunch with the BTP Bunch is part of our commitment to continually adapt and improve based on student input. We plan to gather feedback annually to ensure that this community event remains relevant and beneficial, addressing the evolving needs of our BTP students.
