The proposed avenues for student involvement aim to create a more cohesive program and community in which graduate students feel valued and respected and have the opportunity to create meaningful relationships outside of their primary advisor and lab. We believe that central to a world-class research program is a world-class training environment. Therefore, the development of policies and procedures to assess and improve our training environment and climate will directly aid in achieving our mission to be a top-tier research program.

The Biomedical Engineering Board (BMEB) is intentionally decentralized in structure in order to accommodate the demanding schedules of our graduate students. This provides flexibility for members to participate and contribute to committee missions and events as their schedule allows, and without placing undue burden on any single member. As an advocacy group run by our students and for our students, committees naturally form and retire as the needs and interests of students and the greater cBME community change.
