About BUGS

The Biochemistry Undergraduate Society (BUGS) is an organization that represents all McGill students who are currently registered in a biochemistry undergraduate program, as well as Interdepartmental Honours in Immunology program (IHI). The BUGS Council is a body of eighteen elected and appointed student leaders who aim to provide opportunities for professional and social development to all members of the society. 

We communicate news, host both academic and social events, while providing support to all members of this program. We are dedicated to fostering an engaging and supportive student community – here’s what we do to make that happen:

  • Social and academic events 
  • Welcome Back BBQ
  • Biochemistry Undergraduate Mentoring Program (BUMP)
  • Note Taking Club (NTC): class notes written by students 
  • Research Awareness Day (RAD)
  • Biochemistry merch for purchase 
  • Cabin in the Woods Retreat
  • Representation of the student body to the Department of Biochemistry, Science Undergraduate Society (SUS), Student Society of McGill University (SSMU) and the Faculty of Science

 


McGill University is located on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. McGill honours, recognizes and respects these nations as the traditional stewards of the lands and waters on which we meet today.
