This weekend is Homecoming weekend, and the BHN (Bucknell Health Network) has two events planned that you may be interested in.
The first is this Friday, October 21 at 5:00 in the Gallery Theater. Dr. Jeff Lewis will be talking about good options for both extracurricular activities as well as summer opportunities that will look good on your application. He is also going to talk about writing the personal statement. Dr. Lewis is both a physician and a dentist and has been working in the admissions/advising field for some time, so I would highly recommend trying to make it to this talk…I can guarantee it will be a good one!
The other event that the BHN has planned is a “meet and greet” in the CDC from 9:00-11:00 Saturday morning, October 22. There will be coffee and pastries, and this is a chance for current students to meet and talk to recent grads who are in professional school (med, dent, PT, PA, vet…whatever!) or who are in residency as well as alumni who are in practice. For current students, this is the best way to get a feel for what it’s going to be like to be in school – until you’re there yourself, and for alums, you’re going to be helping out the next generation of Bucknell grads…everyone wins!
Hope to see you at one or both of these events!
