BBS Recruitment 2024
The Cornell University Biomedical and Biological Sciences (BBS) Ph.D. Program Recruitment event will be held Sunday, January 28th through Tuesday, January 30th (departure morning of Wednesday, Jan 31st). You will meet with faculty, current graduate students and campus partners and get a glimpse of the BBS Ph.D. program, Cornell University and Ithaca community.
To make navigating the experience a bit easier recruits are assigned a "BBS Buddy" in early January. BBS Buddies are current graduate students who have successfully navigated the recruitment experience and can be a source of information and guidance.
