Student Organizations

The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering encourages students to explore opportunities beyond the classroom and actively participate in campus life. One great way to get involved is by joining student organizations.

Joining an organization offers numerous benefits that many people may overlook. It provides a chance to discover more about yourself, find a sense of belonging within a community, develop important interpersonal skills, learn how to collaborate effectively with others, acquire skills applicable to your academic coursework, enhance your leadership abilities, and expand your resume. Being part of an organization allows your voice to be heard and offers a refreshing break from your studies.

Here are some popular organizations that our BME students often join, along with links to help you explore additional options beyond this list.

• Alpha Eta Mu Beta Biomedical Engineering Honors Society
• American Indian Science and Engineering Society
