We're still working out what to do about GBMs, but as of right now we're leaning towards Zoom meetings. We still have things to discuss, and elections must be held in May. The next GBM is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday March 25.

As the University works to help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, it falls on BME GSC to do our part as well. We will be cancelling all coffee breaks and Friday socials for the foreseeable future, at least until UF deems it safe for classes to be held in person again.

General Body meeting tomorrow at 12:45! Join us for lunch and to discuss how recruitment went and other upcoming events!

Reminder about our coffee break today from 3-4 pm in JG32. Consider coming and grabbing a coffee and sticking around for the @UFBME Black History Month Panel at 4:30 in the same room!
