Welcome back to GMU for Spring 2009. Finally, we have a website and can move on to more interesting aspects of being a student organization. We are here to inform you about the bioengineering field and provide you opportunities to experience what biomedical engineering has to offer. Stay tuned for a lot of exciting events and activities.
