The Council of Biomedical Graduate Students (CBGS)

The Council of Biomedical Graduate Students (CBGS) is an organization representing students from the five different tracks in the Biomedical Science program. The Council consists of officers, representatives for the different tracks and faculty advisors.

We are involved with planning and execution of various events for graduate students throughout the year. Meetings are held every month where students are free to discuss matters that promote student well-being, as well as resources and opportunities for their overall development.

Please contact us at councilgraduatestudents@utoledo.edu if you have any questions, or to let us know how we can help you.
