After the official formation of McGill's Undergraduate Department of Bioengineering in the 2016-2017 academic year, the first cohort of bioengineering undergraduate students collaborated with McGill's Chemical Engineering Student Society (ChESS) to integrate their department within the Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS). BUSS was formally established in January 2017, after a unanimous vote by the EUS Council to recognize BUSS as an official student society under the EUS. The first ever BUSS Executive Committee was elected in February 2017. | After the official formation of McGill's Undergraduate Department of Bioengineering in the 2016-2017 academic year, the first cohort of bioengineering undergraduate students collaborated with McGill's Chemical Engineering Student Society (ChESS) to integrate their department within the Engineering Undergraduate Society (EUS).

At the end of the newsletter is the very special BUSSie of the Week! This weekly segment features a bioengineering student with a little blurb to get to know people within the department!

While BUSS may not have a lounge (yet), the hunt will never stop! The Executive Council is always on the lookout for potential lounge spaces and is working hard towards one day obtaining a space to call our own. In particular, the President often communicates with the Faculty and Building Managers to stay up-to-date on any potential openings. Hopefully with all this hard work, BUSS will soon have a place to call home | While BUSS may not have a lounge (yet), the hunt will never stop!
