Toxicology Graduate Student Association (TGSA) Welcome to the Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology's Graduate Student Association web page. Students within our department come from all over the world, from many walks of life, to study at one of the oldest, most well respected Toxicology programs in the country. This diversity fits hand in hand with the strong collaborative spirit and camaraderie that exists among our students. We make the effort to meet several times a year, at our Graduate Student Research Symposium and numerous local scientific meetings, as well as through our football games and parties, to interact both academically and socially. Most importantly, however, is our ability to share ideas and advice -- to be supportive -- in a setting free of competition.
Toxicology Graduate Student Handbook In addition to the department website, the Toxicology Graduate Student Handbook provides essential information for new students. The handbook, updated annually, provides information on course requirements, a chronology of steps for progressing through the degree program, graduate school and departmental policies and forms and details about campus life. For a print copy, download the PDF version (plus the cover) or request a copy from the Graduate Secretary.
For a complete list of Toxicology graduate students and their contact information visit the Student Directory. 2006 TGSA Officers: Larissa Williams, Rakesh Ranjan, Elizabeth Thompson, Bethany Reeves
The goals of the TGSA are threefold: 1) creating opportunities for department members to interact in a social atmosphere; 2) communicating important department and university issues and policies to students; 3) fostering intellectual exchange between students and the scientific community.
