BBI Seed Grant Symposium
Join us as we learn more about the work and accomplishments of our BBI Seed Grant Awardees for FY16 and FY17. Representatives from each team will be provide short presentations discussing their current or past awards. There will be an opportunity to connect with faculty, students and external members of the BBI community.
Food and drinks will be served.
