To the HILS PhD Student Community,
HILS is pleased to announce a call for Student Event Proposals.
In the past few years, we have supported student organized events including the Harvard Anti-microbial resistance network minisymposium, HILS Gallery Night, the HILS Cooking Challenge, a Big Data Career Panel, an Op-Ed writing workshop and much more!!
Help keep the life sciences lively, and consider submitting a proposal!
Please note, in a change from previous years, there will be two opportunities to submit proposals this year: one deadline in January for events to be held by June 30, 2019 and a second due in late July/early August for events to be held in Fall 2019 or Spring 2020.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need further information.
Best,

Events should conform to the following criteria:
* The events must feature topics, concerns, or themes related to the life sciences and likely to be of interest to a broad cross-section of HILS students.
* Eligible event formats include seminars, panel discussions, symposia, conferences, films, and other formats (e.g., lab open houses). Creative ideas are encouraged!
* Events must be held at Harvard (on either the Cambridge or Longwood Medical Area campuses), and must include receptions or similar opportunities for HILS student/faculty mixing.
* Student organizing teams must include participants from at least two HILS programs and work with at least one faculty advisor from a HILS program.
* At least one speaker or featured participant must be affiliated with Harvard. However, non-Harvard speakers, distinguished guests, and attendees are encouraged to participate.
