GSAC
The Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC) is run by biomedical engineering graduate students to serve as a liaison between students and the department. We also organize events to build the biomedical engineering community and support our students.
What we do:
- Perform/facilitate a student committee for retention, promotion, and tenure of BME faculty.
- Coordinate recruitment of new graduate students.
- Organize the annual Utah Biomedical Engineering Conference (UBEC).
- Provide service and local science/engineering outreach opportunities.
GWBE
Graduate Women in Biomedical Engineering (GWBE) aims to encourage diversity and equality through departmental community building, professional development, and outreach. GWBE aims to create a productive, inclusive environment in which women and other biomedical engineering students can:
- seek peer and faculty mentorship,
- engage in career development with academic and industry professionals,
- and connect with the surrounding community through STEM outreach and research dissemination.
