BUMMP Annual Student Symposium

BASS is an annual event that provides mentors and mentees the opportunity to showcase their research from the academic year. We bring in a keynote speaker, hold an opportunities fair, and provide a platform for students, faculty, and other supporters of BUMMP to interact with each other and reflect on the academic year.

Welcome Lunch

Our first big event of the 2024-2025 academic year will be our Annual Welcome Lunch, where mentor/mentee pairings and BUMMP pods will be announced! 

Personal Statement Writing Workshop

This professional development workshop will provide mentees with tips and tricks for writing a well-written personal statement, and the opportunity to receive feedback from mentors on their personal statements for graduate/professional school applications.

Our research blitz provides mentees who are seeking research experiences with current opportunities to join a research lab at UC San Diego. Mentors whose labs are actively recruiting undergraduates are welcome to present their research and interact with mentees.

Winter 2025

Winter GBM

Our winter General Body Meeting (GBM) is the first event of the winter quarter and attendance is highly encouraged for all mentors/mentees! We will discuss upcoming events and dates/deadlines for the remainder of the academic year.

Med School Application Workshop

This professional development workshop will be primarily focused on our medical school-bound mentees and will give them the opportunity to learn more about the application requirements and process. Our goal is to bring in current/former medical students to share their experiences and give advice.

Undergrad Social

This social is centered on our mentees, allowing them to take a break from studies/classes to come socialize and spend time together. Our most recent social was Valentine's Day themed, so attendees were able to write cards and learn origami!

UJC How to Read a Paper Workshop

The goal of this workshop is to help mentees become more comfortable reading and analyzing scientific papers. Small group discussions are led by mentor volunteers, and mentees are able to work with them during the first part of the workshop. During the second part, we combine groups, and mentees get the opportunity to share what they've learned with others.
