Graduate Student Activities

Departmental graduate students have established the Graduate Student Association of Biological Sciences (GABS) to promote scientific and social interactions among students in various graduate programs.

In addition to monthly meetings to discuss graduate student issues, the organization sponsors an annual Graduate Student Symposium as well as monthly "chalk talks," where graduate students present their research to their peers and to faculty. Financial support for travel to scientific meetings is also available through GABS and the campus-wide Graduate Student Association.

Officers:

  President
Ryan McMullin
  Vice-President Belinda Jackson
  GABS symposium chair Beth Ford
  GABS symposium co-chair Michael Harrington
The GABS charter governs all functions of the association.
