Introducing the MBB curriculum and general college life to the new members of the NIMBB family were just a few of the activities lined up for the day. All in all, the freshies enjoyed an org-prepared lunch, lab tour, and talent session.

Congratulations to the winners of the presentation and congratulations to the freshies who were just so bibo and game throughout the entire thing.

And once again,
