Event Highlights
Our Initiatives
Financial accessibility is a priority for the GSAB. We have successfully established a parking subsidization program to assist graduate students with the costs of commuting to campus. Qualifying students in need can receive a subsidy of $100 toward their parking fees, ensuring that the cost of campus access does not hinder their ability to conduct essential research and attend classes.
We believe that a strong research community is built on personal connections. Beyond our advocacy work, the GSAB focuses on tradition-building through events like the Fall Dinner. By providing spaces for students to gather outside of the lab, we foster the multidisciplinary collaborations that make Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØEngineering world-class.
