Graduate Association of Bioengineers (G.A.B.E.)
The Graduate Association of Bioengineers (GABE) serves as the formal
representative body of graduate bioengineering students to the Bioengineering
Graduate Group and the University Administration. It also serves
to promote academic and social interaction among graduate bioengineering
students. Any person registered as a full-time or part-time graduate
student in the Bioengineering Department (or in a combined graduate
degree program when at least one of those degrees is offered by
the Bioengineering Department) for any portion of an academic year
is considered a member of GABE for that full academic year. GABE
has a voting representative in the Graduate Group Committee and
also participates in other committees with the faculty.
Graduate bioengineering students are kept abreast of issues affecting
different segments of the University through GABE's ties with various
graduate student governing bodies. Representatives for GSEG and
GSAC are both elected at the beginning of the fall semester. GSEG
(Graduate Student Engineering Group) is the graduate student governing
body of the School of Engineering and Applied Science. GSAC (Graduate
Student Associations Council is the graduate student governing body
of all the non-professional schools within the University. GABE
is provided funds by GSEG, GSAC, as well as the Bioengineering Department.
GABE-sponsored social events are held throughout the year and include
a Boat Ride in the Fall to welcome incoming students, a Spring Event
in May, happy hours, intramurals, the holiday party and many other
events. Amongst GABE's academic activities are student seminars,
opportunities for practice with peer review of conference talks,
organization of BE student/faculty luncheons on career-related issues
and participation in interdepartmental seminars.
GABE is also a useful source of information for first-year students
on such matters as campus activities, University services, on-campus
and off-campus housing, etc. This information is provided in GABE's
Guide for First Year BE Graduate Students. GABE meetings are held
monthly during the academic year (September through May).
