Our goal at the Biomedical Graduate Student Organization (BGSO) is to improve connection and engagement between the six HMS OGE PhD programs as well as with the greater Longwood campus community. Through monthly social events as well as long-term initiatives, BGSO invites students to take a break from their studies and relax, learn new hobbies, and engage with others.

For students who are interested in working with BGSO to hold a community event or start a student group of their own, please reach out to [Nikki Crouse](/people/nikki-crouse "Nikki Crouse"). Some funding is available for student-run initiatives.
