Biomedical Student Association

Engage with peers as part of the Biomedical Student Association

The Biomedical Student Association (BSA) is an Augusta University-sanctioned organization providing leadership and support to graduate students in the Biomedical Sciences.

The BSA conducts activities to promote an atmosphere of fellowship and social support among the graduate students and organizes students' interactions with other institutions and organizations within Augusta University and the community at large. The majority of BSA events focus on strengthening social networks within the graduate student community as well as encouraging students to play an active role in campus and community-wide events.

Service Projects

On a monthly basis, the BSA members work to organize a service project to make a difference in our communities, gain leadership experience, promote student-student interaction and expand networking opportunities. Through service, students feel more connected not only with the campus community, but also with the larger CSRA.
