McGill Biology Graduate Student Association
The Biology Graduate Students Association (BGSA) is a student organization representing graduate students and postdocs in McGill's Department of Biology. We host and organize a variety of social and academic events each year — from social nights at Thomson House to group seminars, workshops, and Department Day. Check out our calendar for upcoming events!
The Graduate Development Committee (GDC) is surveying graduate students to learn about their graduate experience. The survey includes questions on funding, training, community, seminars, etc., and has the potential to make a pretty big impact. This is your chance to bring up issues (or successes) directly to the people who actually have the power to change things! The survey should take approximately 5-15 minutes to complete.
Cheers,
Laura and Khalid-AlNaemi on behalf of the Graduate Development Committee
