How BGA Works
Membership
The best time to get involved with BGA is now! Whether you are a new student with fresh ideas or a doctoral candidate with experience and advice to offer, we appreciate the input of all BGA members. Just graduated from college? Married with kids? International student? MD/PhD program? We look forward to your unique perspective on graduate life at Brody! The easiest ways to get involved are to go to the regular social and philanthropy events, and join a BGA committee (see below). These committees meet at least twice a semester and food is occasionally provided. Another way is to attend the monthly BGA meetings. All grad students are invited, and lunch is provided.
