Attendees also enjoyed a fantastic talk by the student-invited keynote speaker, and a high-energy poster session and reception where, in addition to the BIMS community, we hosted 50 potential recruits for the Fall 2023 class. The day culminated with the traditional awards ceremony where the GBS Leadership and Peach and Hungerford award recipients were announced. It was a truly wonderful day!
