The Integrative Biology Graduate Student Association was created with the purpose of uniting the broad and varied interests of all graduate students affiliated with the Department of Integrative Biology at Oregon State University. As an association, we aim to articulate the particular needs of graduate students and advocate for their views on issues within the department, college, and university.

Additionally, we strive to facilitate a strong community among graduate students through both social and academic interactions. Through our numerous committees our membership engages in impactful activities, helping graduate students meet their personal and professional goals. Furthermore, the Integrative Biology Graduate Student Association strives to be be a positive voice for science within our institution and greater community.

IBGSA has organized and participated in many events in recent years. Highlights include the IB Open House, the grad invited speaker visit, the Biology Graduate Student Symposium, picnics, socials and many outreach activities, including Discovery Days. We encourage all IB grad students to get involved with IBGSA. There are opportunities for teamwork, planning and executing events, sharing your science with others, and more!

All IB grad students are automatically members of IBGSA. Watch the email listserv for announcements of meetings, activities and opportunities.
