Bioengineering Graduate Association

The Bioengineering Graduate Association (BGA) at UCLA was established to facilitate the communication of graduate students with department members, encourage the involvement of students in the graduate community, and establish platforms for the academic and professional development of its members. BGA coordinates with the department to provide resources of academic outreach for graduate students, including arranging lunch with guest speakers, organizing annual retreats to promote intra- and inter-departmental research exchange, and releasing other opportunities for student involvement. BGA also works to enrich the life of graduate students and form close bonds within the department. The council provides peer advising and mentoring, facilitates new student orientation, leads social gatherings and after hours, and provides community support for current students.
