About Us
What is the Biology Council of Majors?
About Us
The Biology Council of Majors is a student organization designed to help all students interested in the biological sciences prepare for and achieve their professional ambitions whatever they may be. It serves as a meeting ground for like-minded individuals to enjoy science together in a non-academic setting. Throughout the year, we host speakers who share with us the opportunities and career options available to people interested in biological sciences. We also coordinate UMBC lab tours, hold bioethics debates, and offer guidance for excelling in classes at UMBC. Our primary goal is to encourage a broad appreciation for the biological sciences in all facets of life.
What Do We Do?
Often, we have guest speakers discuss a variety of topics, such as research on campus or GRE/MCAT preparation. During some meetings, we will venture on lab tours to other parts on campus, such as the Biological Sciences and Meyerhoff buildings. We are also hoping to intersperse fun activities, such as a pizza social, in between guest speaker and lab tour meetings. Another important event happens at the end of each semester: elections are held for officer positions, and the torch -- as well as the responsibilities that go with it -- are passed down to the successive executive board.
When and Where Do We Meet?
BioCOM will meet in the Biological Sciences building (room 120) during free hour (12 pm to 1 pm) every other Monday. However, any changes to the time or location shall be noted on our facebook page or our GroupMe.
