Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) Student Society

The BHSc Student Society (BHSS) is a student organization composed of a network of clubs and committees constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of our fellow students. Our mandate is to promote unity, collaboration and participation within the BHSc (Hons) Program, in addition to providing educational and extra-curricular opportunities to our peers to enhance university experiences. Alongside these objectives, the society is designed to allow students to achieve both scholastic and personal growth.

Black BHSc Association

Founded in 2020, the Black BHSc Association (BBA) was created by a group of Black BHSc students hoping to foster a supportive environment among current and prospective Black BHSc students.

With only about 20 Black students across all four years (~2% of the BHSc population), as of 2021, the BBA aims to identify and address the specific problems that underlie the issues faced by Black BHSc students, in order to enact meaningful change and move towards a more inclusive BHSc program. The BBA provides support for current Black BHSc students. By coordinating outreach conferences, high school information nights and contributing to the Equitable Admissions for Black Applicants (EABA) pathway, in collaboration with the BHSc (Hons) Program, we also hope to reach out to and encourage Black students to consider the program.
