Welcome
mcbUSA, the original club sponsored by the MCB department, works to provide students with academic services and social events. While we are sponsored by the MCB department, you don't have to be an MCB major to join or to take part in the events, so come out and join us for a fun-filled year!
We sponsor monthly events for MCB students. Hang out and meet new people in your major! Professors are welcomed too! Some events include:
- Socials
- Seminars
- Summer Research Program
- Student-Faculty Luncheons
- Emphasis Night
- Futures Night
