About the Chemistry & Biochemistry Student Association (CBSA)
- The Chemistry & Biochemistry Student Association (CBSA) at San Francisco State University is a student-run organization dedicated to building a stronger, more connected scientific community on campus. We aim to support students academically, professionally, and socially as they navigate their journey through STEM.
- CBSA creates opportunities for growth through study groups, industry tours, and guest speaker events. We organize hands-on science outreach for local youth, help bridge the gap between students and faculty, and celebrate our members' accomplishments through graduation ceremonies and community events.
- Our mission is to foster academic excellence, promote career exploration, build leadership, and create a welcoming environment where students feel seen, supported, and inspired — no matter their background. We believe in the power of community, curiosity, and collaboration to help every student thrive in the sciences.
With your support, we can:
🎓 Fund our Graduation Ceremony to celebrate over 60 dedicated graduates — many of whom are first-generation college students.
📚 Expand our study groups and pre-exam workshops in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and more to help students succeed in challenging STEM courses.
🏢 Host biotech lab tours and industry visits that give students firsthand exposure to scientific careers in companies like Genentech and Gladstone Institutes.
🧑🏫 Invite guest speakers from academia and industry to guide students through graduate school applications, research, and job searches.
🧪 🔬 Organize science fairs and outreach events like the EOS Science Festival, where CBSA members bring fun experiments to local youth.
With your gift on #GatorsGiveDay, CBSA can continue offering hands-on learning experiences, career-building programs and impactful outreach efforts to SF State students and high school students with a passion for chemistry.
