Mentoring program
Participating in our mentoring program will make your transition to college easier and less stressful! Meet an upperclassman who has stood in your shoes and who will guide you through engineering struggles. Because this program is specifically within BMES, you will have direct access to all things biomedical related. The purpose of a mentor is to ensure that incoming freshman and underclassmen have guidance through their first years at UTK. Mentors and mentees meet at least once a month to discuss academic, professional, and even social issues or questions that are important in college life. This program was made to benefit you and make your life easier, so take advantage of all opportunities and advice a mentor can give!

National BMES ANNUAL MEETING

Every year, a group of BMES members travel across the U.S. for the National BMES Annual Meeting. At the meeting, members engage with BME majors and professionals from across the country. This is a great networking opportunity and chance to travel!
Find more information on the National BMES website!
