Not all education occurs in the academic classroom and student laboratories. Students in the CLS Program at UTMB also have professional and recreational activities on campus, at clinical locations, and in the local community. Course activities outside of the classroom and laboratory may include participation in research, volunteer work in community support projects, and presentations at area and national professional meetings.
Here are some useful sites for students to visit:
- Upcoming Events
- CLS Student Organization (SOCLS)
- Lambda Tau - CLS Honorary Society
- UTMB Student Life
- UTMB Student Services
- Galveston Island information
- Job Opportunities
