Congratulations to Pharmacology’s Third year BIMS students Maddie Failor, Lizzie Van Gorder, Rachel Clements and Elzbieta Dulko!

On Thursday, November 9, Biomedical Sciences (BIMS) hosted the second annual Advancement to Candidacy Celebration. This celebration honors third-year BIMS students who passed their qualifying exam in the spring and are now on their journey toward their PhD.

Each student was announced by their respective Director of Graduate Studies and presented with a certificate of advancement and a challenge coin by their mentor.

This Advancement to Candidacy Celebration is the final milestone that the 2021 BIMS student cohort will achieve as a group. They are each now on their own path toward their respective PhDs. BIMS is proud to commemorate this milestone with the new candidates through ceremony, reception and celebration.
