Meeting Ideas

SBE Student Chapter meetings should be fun.  With that in mind, several ideas that can engage members include:

• Bring in guest speakers from local BioTech Companies, your University, other universities, or government agencies.  If you need a list, contact bio@aiche.org
• Organize social events such as a "Meet the New Members" party in the beginning of the school year, a holiday party, or a spring picnic.
• Arrange to have a joint meeting with a nearby Chapter.
• SBE Managing and Advisory Board Members are excellent speakers.  To get their contact information, email us at bio@aiche.org.
• Work to organize joint meetings with AIChE Student Chapters or other campus organizations.
• Tour local biomedical companies or local university labs. 
• Hold a "Biological Engineering Open-House" for elementary, middle and secondary school students.
• Hold a job fair of local companies interested in hiring biological engineers or biologists.
