Get Involved in NCB

From clubs to hands-on research, there are a number of ways to get involved with the Department of Neuroscience, Cognition and Behavior.

NCB Club

NCB Club

The NCB Club is a student-run organization that sponsors many Neurocience, Cognition and Behavior-related educational and social events each year. Events include invited talks by neuroscientist working in a variety of different settings and panel discussions on graduate school options.

Membership

Membership in the NCB Club offers students a number of benefits:

  • Get to know other NCB majors that share your goals and interests outside of the classroom. Members find a support system of students interested in pursuing graduate study or careers in neurocience, cognition and behavior. 
  • Interact with USD faculty in a small group setting. NCB club members find out about research opportunities with USD faculty and learn more about how to get involved in other research-related activities in San Diego.
  • See guest speakers and USD alumni discuss hot topics in neuroscience, cognition and behavior and career options for students post-graduation. The wide variety of topics that our speakers address are not only interesting, but often inspire students to consider career options of which they were not previously aware.

For information on how to get involved please contact Dr. Jaqueline Bonds jbonds_09@sandiego.edu
