The Biochemistry Student Association (BiocSA) is a student organization established in 2008. Our aim is to create a stronger connection between biochemistry students at the University of Guelph. With such a large amount of students at the university, newer students may feel overwhelmed with the experience. BiocSA overcomes this by organizing seminars, academic activities, and social events.

BiocSA invites all Biochemistry students (major or minor) to attend events and get involved with the club.

 

Meetings are located in the New Science Complex, room 3310. Times and descriptions can be found on the Events page. These meetings and events are by no means mandatory, but they are usually highly educational, as well as usually fun!

 

BiocSA is a student-organized group constructed of 4 mandatory executive members and 3 representatives. These students can be in their first year to fourth year of their studies.

 

The executive consists of:

 

President - Responsible for the main coordination of all BiocSA activities, events, and meetings..

                                                  details of planned events/meetings.
