Subject: Two Exciting Opportunities for Undergrads

Dear Colleagues,

Happy New Year! Hope all is well and that you’re having a great 2017 so far.

I’m reaching out from the New York Academy of Sciences regarding two upcoming online opportunities for undergrad science majors. I’m hoping you’ll promote these opportunities through your institution network outreach and social media.

I have listed the program opportunities overview below and attached social cards.

When: Thursday, January 19, 2017 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Who This Webinar Is For: Seniors or Recent Grads Who Majored in Biomedical Sciences
