College (then Brownsville Junior College). GSF was
formally incorporated as a nonprofit organization
in 1983.
The name “Gorgas” honors
General William Crawford Gorgas, whose research led
to the cure of yellow fever. Dr. Gorgas's work began
at the Fort Brown Cavalry Post Hospital in Brownsville;
later, his labs served as the meeting area for the
Gorgas Science Society student club.
It is our belief
that community as well as individual growth comes
through education. GSF is committed to the development
of new educational materials for use in the classroom
as well as for the general public.
GSF supports and encourages the pursuit
of careers in science, medicine, and engineering.
