Testimonials
"I have attended many events hosted by HBSU and they have always been great and informational. I was able to learn something new every time I went, whether it was from their Road to Research event or their Translational Research and Medicine Conference. I think there is definitely something there for every life science undergraduate. Their mentorship program was also very thought out because they match you with someone who is in your field of interest. I was able to gain a lot of experience and knowledge from this program and it really helped guide me on what I want to do during my undergraduate and beyond. I think this club is definitely way more involved, inclusive, and fun for student life compared to some of the other ones."

"HBSU is a great platform overall that exposes students to a variety events and opportunities. I personally was able to learn a lot about mentorship through the HBSU mentorship program. I think it was a great way for me to develop leadership skills and also keep a track of the deadlines. They tailor their content/ events as per the needs of the students and I believe that is how a union truly shows they care about their members. I have gained meaningful interactions professionals in the Human Biology field via the HBSU events. Also, the type of guest speakers at the events have exposed me to unique career paths that i believe many others like myself, might be unaware of. Lastly, the HBSU has always created a welcoming environment by trying to actively engage with the students. I personally have had multiple doubts and queries that were resolved immediately by their team."
