We are a graduate student organization comprised primarily of historically underrepresented students in PhD programs in the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS) and others pursuing scientific training at the University of Michigan medical school since 1991. We are dedicated to the support, retention and recruitment of historically underrepresented students in the sciences. Our goal is to assist students in their successful completion of the Ph.D. by offering activities and support which will meet academic, social and professional needs in an atmosphere of cultural context and comfort. We are open to all incoming PIBS students as well as PhD students in other science fields, who want to contribute to and support the multicultural environment in science!

We organize social, professional development and outreach events on a regular basis. Check out our events to get a better idea of what we do and contact us if you want to get notified about them and join our community!
