First and foremost, the Chapter at Hopkins is dedicated to providing an interactive society for accomplished biomedical engineering undergraduates at Hopkins. The GSA represents graduate students in the School of Medicine in such areas as parking, health services, graduation, security, and orientation. The GSA also organizes both social and professional development programs. Past social events have included Orioles baseball games, the annual orientation picnic, and happy hours. Several lectures are sponsored by the GSA each year, and career workshops are held regularly.
Funding is available for other student groups and student travel.
The GSA newsletter is published several times each academic year, and recent issues are available online. Recreation and Athletics At the Homewood campus, all sports activities revolve around the Newton H. White Athletic Center, the perfect place to go for exercise and relaxation. On the East Baltimore campus, biomedical engineering graduate students enjoy privileges at the Denton Cooley Center, an athletic facility that features an indoor track, squash and racquetball courts, exercise rooms, a sauna, and an outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts.
