[Bme-student] Fwd: SFB: Tag Line Contest - REVISION

[Betsy Tedder]

Hi everyone,
I received this from SFB and thought some may be interested (I didn't know
if everyone received it, so I'm forwarding).
Notice that the deadline is Feb 22nd, but if your tagline is chosen, you get
free registration to SFB in Atlanta, which I'm sure most of us will be
encouraged to go to in Sep.
Good Luck,
Betsy

 Dear Student Chapters, Student Members, and Advisors,



As some of you may already be aware, the Society for Biomaterials is
currently rebranding, updating and polishing our image.  A task force from
our membership has been working hard to generate ideas for our website,
marketing, and logo.



We are asking for input and suggestions from the student membership in
developing a tagline.  This new tagline would describe our society and the
identity of our membership in a short phrase that would appear following
"Society for Biomaterials."  Keep in mind that our society is composed of
members from academia, industry, medicine, and the government.  While the
general focus of our membership is biomaterials, each member has a unique
expertise in fields ranging from biology to chemistry, materials science,
engineering, medicine, and policy.  Some of these fields focus on the
molecular, microscopic, and macroscopic aspects of materials while others on
biological interactions with materials (whether with humans or other living
organisms).  In developing your ideas, consider finding a balance between
being too broad and too specific so as to describe our society without
leaving anyone out.



Please send suggested taglines to Dan Lemyre at dlemyre at ahint.com by
February 22, 2008, 2008 at 5pm EST.  The student or chapter that submits the
winning the tagline will receive a free registration to the SFB Fall 2008
Translational Research Symposium in Atlanta, Georgia (September 11-13,
2008).



I have included a brief list of suggested taglines to demonstrate some of
the important ideas that our tagline should encompass.



Society for Biomaterials- Building better medicine

Society for Biomaterials- From molecule to mankind

Society for Biomaterials- Biomaterials for life

Society for Biomaterials- A multitude of experiences, a single focus



We appreciate your help.  Please e-mail me or Dan Lemyre with any questions.



Sincerely,

Maggie Phillips

National Student Chapter President
