All nursing students are members of the tuition-funded Cizik School of Nursing Student Government Organization (SGO). In addition to sponsoring events, activities, and volunteer opportunities, the SGO represents nursing students on the UTHealth Houston Student Intercouncil.

Through the SGO’s popular “Beyond the BSN” events, undergraduate students hear about real-world nursing from a Cizik School of Nursing alumni panel, learn about graduate degree programs from faculty, and meet hiring managers and nursing leaders from Houston-area hospitals.
