Dalhousie Association of Graduate Students in Psychology (DAGSiP)

Though the role of the society for some time has been organizing and assigning students to department committees and advocating to the faculty, we are hoping to expand the scope of DAGSiP. Specifically, our first goal is to promote more social connection between graduate students in the Psychology and Neuroscience department.

As we all know, being in grad school can be very isolating, and we are hoping to foster connection between graduate students by creating more on- and off-campus social events. We aim to represent students in the Clinical, Neuroscience, and Experimental Psychology programs and hope to foster a sense of community within the department.

We also aim to increase graduate student involvement more generally, both within and outside of DAGSiP, by hosting regular (e.g., bimonthly) meetings, reserving space on campus for planned and informal activities, and other initiatives based on student interest and feedback (e.g., organizing intramural sports teams).

Finally, we hope to make student life as enjoyable and stress-free as possible by building a resource hub, making academic information (e.g., upcoming talks, scholarship deadlines) readily and easily accessible, and fostering supportive relationships between newer students and upper-year students in the program.

Dalhousie Biomedical Engineering Society (DBES)

We aim to foster a sense of community for students in the Biomedical Engineering program.
Our society mainly organizes social events for our students and facilitates communication between between students and the faculty. This is all in an effort to foster a sense of community in our program. This is important because our students come from very diverse scientific backgrounds and work on a diverse set of research problems. But, we are also physically separated in buildings across the 3 Halifax campuses.

Biology Organization of Graduate Students (BOGS)

The main goal of the Dalhousie Biology Organization of Graduate Students (BOGS) is to support the interests of graduate students within the Biology Department at Dalhousie University. We do our best to represent student voices at departmental meetings (Committee of the Whole, COW), and to encourage departmental mingling. As a biology grad student, you are automatically a member of BOGS!

Graduate student life involves much more than just academic pursuits. It's helpful to get to know the other students around you, both in your lab and in the rest of the department. They can also be your best support system when your experiments aren't working, you're discouraged or confused, or just need to blow off some steam. To help you get to know the people around you, BOGS organizes a series of social events during the year. An easy and relaxed way to get to know your fellow grad students is to come to our weekly seminar series, FISH (Friday Informal Seminar Hour), in the 5th floor lounge.
