The MCDB Graduate Student Organization (GSO) is a student-run group which serves to represent the interests of MCDB graduate students as well as to organize social and professional events such as career-development workshops.  The GSO also coordinates all of the student participation in our recruitment events, and the President of the GSO serves as the student representative on the MCDB Graduate Studies Committee.  The officers of the GSO are elected to 1-year terms by a vote of the student body.  For more information, please visit the MCDB GSO web site.
