Hi BTP members,

You may remember me from the emails I sent out when organizing a recent BTP student meeting. My name is Denil Wickrama and I would like to be your new student representative. Some of you may not know me so I've listed some experience below that I think makes me a good candidate for the job:

- Created a facebook group to all BTP (Bioinformatics Training Program) members to socialize online and post information such as upcoming social events and conferences:
Bioinformatics Training Program Facebook Group
- Organized dinner for BTP members in my year when we first arrived in Vancouver
- Organized and coorganized outdoors events such as a trip to the Grouse Grind and a annual snowshoeing/snowboarding trip at Cypress
- Hosted the first BTP student meeting of the calendar year at my house, with good attendance
- Attended almost all of the BTP student meetings
- I am an SFU student, and I have taken both SFU and UBC courses
- I live and work in a somewhat central location near the GSC
- I have experience organizing several successful BTP events for over a year, and I would like to continue as your student rep

Hope to meet you soon or see you again at an event,
Denil
