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
