The Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Association, simply referred to as ChEGSA, is a longstanding student organization in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. The primary objective of ChEGSA is to enrich the experience of graduate students in our department so that their time at CMU is filled with more than just coursework and research. To accomplish this goal, we host several social and academic events throughout the year and provide a link between students and industry. Check back often for the latest announcements and upcoming events, including updates and registration information for our yearly research symposium. If you are a prospective or incoming student, we have a frequently asked questions section that we hope you will find useful!
We are always happy to chat with prospective students or anyone in the community! Feel free to email us at chegsa@andrew.cmu.edu if you have any questions or want any information or inputs from the ChEGSA members on anything.
