Research Night

The UBC Microbiology and Immunology Students’ Association (MISA) supports MBIM students through social and academic services, and by building a community within the department. Academic support and networking opportunities are available through our annual Mentorship Program and Careers Night, as well as our participation in the Life Sciences Research Night. There are monthly socials such as bar nights and pumpkin carving, and we also have an intramural volleyball team. Our mission is to create a welcoming environment for all current and prospective MBIM to enrich their undergraduate experience. We hope to foster a community that students are proud to be a part of, and encourage relationships across all years and with faculty.

The UBC Biological Sciences Society (BIOSOC) is a student-run organization that has been continuously growing for decades.

We strive to cater to the needs and desires of Biology students, offering numerous involvement opportunities in research, academics, and recreation. Our goal is to build a vibrant, supportive community here in UBC Biology. We are here to provide resources to students in all years of their undergraduate studies, in hopes of furthering their education and career paths.
