The Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Association (ChEGSA) at Mississippi State University is committed to connecting new graduate students in the ChE graduate program and improving relationships between graduate students of different research groups.
ChEGSA is devoted to increasing social and academic activities for graduate students. We encourage graduate students to participate in Chemical Engineering seminars each semester, especially if the research will be presented at National or Technical conferences. Social activities, such as birthday parties, successful master’s and PhD defense celebrations, picnics, trips, and welcome parties for new graduate students, are organized and encourage support and socialization between graduate students in the department. We are also involved in helping the department to recruit/interview talented graduate students from around the USA and the world to grow our graduate program. Our student organization is developing a ChE specific graduate student handbook to help students in the application process and in life as a graduate student at MSU.
