Karina Bilokur,
National Founder

“As an overwhelmed freshman back in 2023, I couldn’t find a single organization that showcased the beauty of the brain and mind in one place. You either had to commit your time to ten different organizations or fully dedicate yourself to a highly specialized community (if you were 100% sure about what you wanted to pursue).

I didn’t have the time for ten organizations—nor did I have a clear idea of exactly what I wanted to do in college.

So, to save time and mental space for myself and many students alike, Brain Hub was born.

Born with one bold purpose: to show that the intersection of many majors and specialties is essential for a fulfilling professional journey. Here, we save your time and provide a wide range of opportunities to grow as a leader in neuro-related fields—whether that’s neuroscience, neurobiology, psychology, cognitive science, philosophy, neural engineering, or the arts.

Welcome to a change-making environment, Brain Hubber!”

  • Brain Hub isn’t just a club—it’s where neuroscience meets real life. We host interactive events like “Be the Neurologist,” invite surgeons and researchers to campus, run hands-on workshops, and connect students to shadowing, research, and volunteer opportunities. Whether you're pre-med, psych, comp sci, engineering, arts or just curious—we’ll plug you into the brain world in a way lectures never could.

  • Here are just a few reviews from our amazing members:
    ‍

    The first Brain Hub meeting was a warm and welcoming experience! Even though my major isn’t in psychology or neuroscience, I’ve always been interested in learning about our brains, and I know this will be beneficial to my field of study as well. Also, it was wonderful to see a diverse group of people from various backgrounds, and the staff were incredibly friendly.🥹 I am excited about the future events and research opportunities they will offer. I’m glad I decided to join Brain Hub. 🧠

    I thought it was great! I will definitely be coming again. This was a great way to discuss with a group of people who care as much about the brain as I do! I feel like this is the start of a great community on campus.

    The first meeting was so intriguing because of the multidisciplinary approach to the club, and as someone with interests in cognitive science, art and design, and neuroscience, I am so excited to learn more about how to explore all those topics. It seems like a super supportive and innovative club!
