Graduate Student Association
The Graduate Student Association of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is the the official organization representing the GSBS student body. Its purposes are to provide a student forum for discussion of common needs, to work cooperatively with the faculty and administration to build a recognized and respected institution, and to develop student fellowship and social activities. Students recommended by the GSA serve on each of the GSBS Standing Committees. GSA 2011-2012 Mission Statement: To provide substantive tools to the students for their graduate career and beyond. GSA 2011-2012 Focus Areas: Leadership, student satisfaction and career development.Announcements:
- KEYS TO A PRODUCTIVE AND SUSTAINABLE CAREER is a valuable and insightful presentation that Dr. Ronald DePinho, President, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, originally presented to trainees at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The GSA Officers and the Deans of GSBS believe that it would be worth your time to view the video.
- GSA Calendar: Visit the online calendar at the GSA’s webpage (under the "Calendar" link) to get information on all events that might be of interest to GSBS students. You can find the date, time, and location of events in addition to a short description and the event flyer. Scholarship and fellowship deadlines are displayed at the top of each day for your convenience. You can also copy these events to your Google Calendar and get a map (if available). If you have any questions, comments, concerns or you want GSA to advertise an event on your behalf, please let one of us know.
- Incident Report Form: The incident report form is up and running at the GSA website (http://www.uthouston.edu/gsbs/gsa/index.htm). The goal of this form is to provide a medium for GSBS students to reach the GSA officers. Please use this form to convey your grievances, complaints, feedback or perhaps a compliment; and we promise to listen! We will listen and work expediently to address your concerns!
