The Bioinformatics Graduate Student Association

The Bioinformatics Graduate Student Association (BGSA) is a student-run organization with two main goals: building community among the graduate students in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (DCMB) and acting as a conduit between students and faculty/staff. BGSA hosts social events throughout the year, including social hours and a Friendsgiving (a potluck Thanksgiving for students). Another aspect of BGSA is placing students on departmental committees to increase student representation in the department.
