GRADUATE STUDENT ASSOCIATION

All students enrolled in degree programs, i.e. matriculated, at GSBS are considered members in the Graduate Student Association. The group's objectives are to cultivate interest in the biomedical sciences and to encourage mutual assistance, social involvement, and other activities vital to a wholesome environment for graduate studies.

The Graduate Student Association (GSA) is made up of Masters and Doctoral students and provides them with a forum to discuss issues relating to student affairs and graduate student education. The GSA proper (mostly doctoral students) organizes trips to local scientific meetings, invites guest lecturers, and provides new doctoral students with mentors to help them adjust to life as a graduate student. In addition, the GSA sponsors social events including student-faculty softball games, bowling nights, and trips to local sporting events to unite the doctoral student community.

The GSA also has 3 affiliate groups, which are comprised of Masters students who typically have different career goals than the research-minded Doctoral students. These groups are the Prospective Physicians Association (PPA), the Minority Association of Pre-Medical Students (MAPS), and the Colleges Against Cancer (CAC).
