UBC BCIT Biotechnology Club

The UBC-BCIT Biotechnology Club was founded to support the endeavors of the students in the joint UBC-BCIT Honours in Biotechnology Program. As students take all of their courses at BCIT for their second and third years in a cohort-manner, it is important to foster relations between those in each cohort, as well as between cohorts. Thus, this club serves to hold events and foster relations within and between cohorts. Furthermore, to introduce biotechnology students to the prospective jobs that they may choose to venture into in the future, the Biotechnology club hopes to connect said students, as well as others interested in the field of biotechnology, with company representatives at our annual Biotechnology Networking Night event.

 

Students that are in the Honours in Biotechnology program are automatically enrolled as members in the Biotechnology Club. Members are informed first about upcoming events, participate in socials (ex. Annual Biotechnology BBQ), and are allowed to vote for executive members.

Biotechnology Networking Night

Our flagship event, Biotechnology Networking Night, is held annually in January to assist students with finding potential internships and co-op opportunities. Representatives from local biotechnology companies such as Stemcell, AbCellera, Acuitas, and more, host booths at the event to connect with students and talk about the endeavours that their companies are currently partaking.

The event features a keynote speaker presentation, panel discussion, and an open networking period where students are able to visit booths hosted by individuals in the Biotechnology industry. Students are also able to converse with professors working in biotechnology-related research at the event. In previous years, 10+ companies and 100+ individuals have attended. Light catering and refreshments are also provided. Stay tuned for more information on the upcoming 7th annual Biotechnology Networking Night in January 2025!
