On May 28, 2025, the UVA Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Wallace H. Coulter Center for Translational Research brought the energy to DC with our very first alumni meet-up in the area—and wow, what a turnout! We packed the venue to the brim with 35 incredible alums and friends, keeping the place buzzing all night long.
According to our post-event survey, 81% of attendees were experiencing their very first BME meet-up, and 52% shared that they’re exploring new career opportunities. We love seeing connections spark and career paths unfold—after all, once a BME, always a BME!
This event was just the beginning. We’re already dreaming up more meet-ups in the DMV, Charlottesville, Boston, Atlanta, and beyond. So, if you missed this one, don’t worry—plenty more opportunities are on the horizon!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made this night unforgettable. Until next time!
