This dinner is for the recognition of our sponsors and all the hard work they have done for us. This is also a great way to network with fellow BDIC students as well as professors. You could even find a potential sponsor! Come to the Marriott Room on the 11th floor of the Campus Center at 6pm for cocktail hour. A full, five-course meal will be served at 6:30pm. Best of all, it's FREE! Just make sure to RSVP by November 1st and remember to dress in a business casual style. This is going to be a fun night, so don't miss out!
