Interest Groups

Association of Multicultural Scientists (AMS)

The Association of Multicultural Scientists (AMS) is a graduate student organization comprised primarily of historically underrepresented students in PhD programs in the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS) program at the University of Michigan medical school. AMS has been in existence as a recognized organization at the University since 1991. AMS is dedicated to the support, retention and recruitment of historically underrepresented students in the sciences. Our primary function is to assist students in their successful completion of the Ph.D. by offering activities and support which will meet academic, social and professional needs in an atmosphere of cultural context and comfort.

Biomedical Graduate Student Council (GSC)

The Biomedical Graduate Student Council (GSC) is made up of graduate student representatives from each area of the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS). The organization is dedicated to representing and promoting the interests of graduate students in the biomedical sciences and acts to push these interests throughout the University. GSC is also very involved within the University of Michigan and throughout the surrounding community by holding programs and events such as the graduate student mentorship program, Habitat for Humanity, and the Detroit High School (DHS) fundraiser to name a few.

Intramural Sports

CMB has a long lasting dedication to intramural sports. For several years CMB has fielded both intramural soccer and football teams, which both have done extremely well against the competition here at UM. CMB would like to keep this tradition going in the years to come and would also like to expand its winning streaks into other sporting events.
