The Student Leadership Council (SLC) is pleased to report our Year 8 progress revolving around research activities, education and outreach efforts and student accomplishments. Featured articles include updates on student travel and knowledge gained from both national and international conferences. The SLC hosted a standardization workshop at this year student retreat exposing the students to the importance of the development of working standards for characterization of bioabsorbable metallic materials. Graduated students have been able to successfully transition into careers in industry as showcased through the alumni highlights. This year there was momentous advancement made in student research as seen in the abundance of papers we published, with some selections showcased in this newsletter. The talent in our dynamic center was put on display in a number of recognitions and strong showings in competitions on both research and entrepreneurship.
The student chapter of North Carolina A&T State University’s Society For Biomaterials is hosting Biomaterials Day 2016 as the Chapter’s inaugural event on May 5th, from 8:30 am to 4 am in Fort-IRC 410.

Welcome to the fifth student-generated newsletter of the Engineering Research Cen-ter for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials (ERC-RMB). Our Gen 3 ERC’s mission is to transform current medical and surgical treat-ments by creating "smart" implants to im-prove treatments for orthopedic, craniofa-cial, and cardiovascular ailments coupled with the development of a vibrant, diverse workforce well-prepared for the multidiscipli-nary and global challenges and opportunities of the new millennium.
Over the years of the ERC-RMB’s existence, it has been incredibly satisfying for me per-sonally to observe the growth in maturity and communications skills of our Student Leadership Council membership as they rally behind the Center philosophy "One Team, One Dream" and report on the Center’s out-standing accomplishments on multiple fronts. My colleagues and I are truly excited about the intellectual growth and leadership of these ERC-RMB students—our next-generation innovators and thinkers.
