SBMS Student Academic and Social Society (SBMS SASS)
The role of the School of Biomedical Sciences Student and Academic Social Society (SBMS SASS) is to promote networking, collegiality and community spirit among all members of the School through the hosting of special events, activities and fundraising.
The SBMS SASS committee aims to encourage a welcoming and collegial environment for all students and staff, with focus to provide an avenue for HDR student leadership and staff-student collaboration on shared goals and activities. To do this, we facilitate regular social events open to all members of the School to develop relationships and build community spirit. Throughout 2021, we have already shown success to plan and host HDR events such as student seminars, regular mixers and other events (morning tea, social soccer and badminton etc.), to improve the cohort experience and build collegiality among students. Each year, we host the annual SBMS Research, Teaching and Learning Awards Night.
Are we affiliated with the School of Chemistry and Biological Science (SCMB)?
No, these are a separate faculty with staff and higher degree research (HDR) student committees.
Can I join during my first year of PhD?
Yes, you are more than welcome. We are always looking for engaged members of SBMS to get involved in diverse school activities.
Are we affiliated with the UQ Student Association of Science Societies (UQ SASS)?
No, we are a postgraduate club in SBMS.
