Maybe you don’t have a professional headshot, or perhaps it has been a while since you last took one? Now is your opportunity to get a professional photo to use for the GSBS website and for all your other professional needs. This is highly recommended for students who currently do not have a professional headshot AND for students planning to graduate in the next 1-2 years in need of an updated professional picture.

You must sign up for a portrait session, in advance. Sessions will be held at GSBS, 6767 Bertner Avenue, Room S3.8456 BSRB. Please check UTHealth Houston Shuttle Schedule or MD Anderson Shuttle Services for an easy trip to BSRB.
