Prof. Goergen is an outstanding candidate with many accolades (including the Rita Schaffer Young Investigator Award from the BMES in 2017) and exemplary service to the society (including serving as co-Chair of this year's Annual Meeting: https://www.bmes.org/2025/annualmeeting<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bmes.org%2F2025%2Fannualmeeting&data=05%7C02%7Cbmegradstudents-list%40ecn.purdue.edu%7C3c21e5dca39044a9961408dde4ce2de6%7C4130bd397c53419cb1e58758d6d63f21%7C1%7C0%7C638918296387061462%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=wCVeHsMDzShLYr%2By3%2FdJFa7iIq9sU53f3UNX8%2F6woRg%3D&reserved=0>). * I encourage you to consider supporting Prof. Goergen when you cast your vote. * The Election period opened August 25, 2025, and ends on September 8, 2025 11:59 pm EDT.
