The Life Sciences Institute Graduate Students Association (LSI-GSA) was initiated by students and faculty in 2006. The LSI-GSA executive are graduate student volunteers from multiple departments and research groups, who represent the 250 PhD and Masters students that work in the Life Sciences Centre.
Our goal is to enhance the training experience of LSI graduate students. We do this by:
•providing opportunity for students to share student-generated research;
•providing networking opportunities to promote collaborations both on and off campus;
•facilitating outreach events between graduate students and the community;
•representing graduate students by active involvement on the LSI Steering Committee;
•being accessible to all students within the LSI to address concerns appropriately.
Annual LSI-GSA events:
•CSI @ the LSI
•Celebrate Research Day
•Geek Olympiad

Hello,
I am a new graduate student here at the LSI in Dr. Joy Richman’s lab. I am in the Craniofacial Sciences program in the Faculty of Dentistry and am looking to get involved in an executive environment. I was wondering if the Faculty of Dentistry is represented on the LSI-GSA committee or how I might get involved with this association?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Scott Holmes
