SRG sponsors auction in conjunction with Research Day
Research Day wouldn't be the same without an auction sponsored by Baylor College of Dentistry's Student Research Group. The
auction follows program festivities and serves as the group's major fundraising event of the year.
SRG auctions items donated by faculty, staff, students and vendors. Funds are used to support
student research at BCD, including travel to meetings, membership in the American Association for Dental Research's National Student Research Group, summer training programs, meeting receptions, and student/mentor
functions.
To donate items or for more information about the auction, contact Robert Spears, SRG faculty adviser and instructor in biomedical sciences, at Ext 8297.
