Graduate Student Association
Who We Are
The CHME GSA is the registered student organization for every graduate student in the Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at UNL.
We exist to give graduate students a voice, to build the connections that carry careers, and to make sure no one navigates the program alone. From welcoming incoming students to organizing seminars and socials, the work is run by graduate students, for graduate students.
Community
Pulling grad students out of their separate labs to share experiences and build a common identity.
Voice
Representing graduate student interests to the department, faculty, and ASUN.
Careers
Networking, professional development, and seminars that connect research to what comes next.
Support
Mentoring incoming students and providing them the resources they need to succeed in the program
