Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Advisory Council (GPAC) Facebook Icon

A group of CMDITR Graduate Students and Postdoctorates have formed an Advisory Council (GPAC). This group meets monthly with the STC's Management Team to communicate student issues to the Center Administrators.

Any STC graduate student or postdoctorate is invited to get involved! Please contact a representative from your campus if you are interested.
