All graduate students in the Biological Sciences are members of the Graduate Student Association (GSA), a group that forms committees to organize, plan, and coordinate student events and happenings, such as the annual Graduate Retreat, the Chinese New Year Celebration, and other events that build community and fellowship in our graduate program.The dedicated members of these committees are always willing to help facilitate the goings-on of the Department of Biological Sciences.They are greatly appreciated for their hard work and talents in coordinating large events and bringing together people who might not have the chance to do so without the aid of these devoted students and the social events they plan.
