Graduate Council Meeting,
01-27-05, 5:00 pm, MCB 655
- We
will meet on the second Thursday of the month at 4:00 in MCB 655
- We have
$2,400 to give for the spring and summer semester for travel funding.
- Because
the members of the Graduate Council will not be available in the summer,
we will take applications for travel funding for summer during the final
block of this semester.
- Partha and Lauren will meet with Monica Gibson on
February 4th at 3:30 pm about GTA parking.
- Lauren
has organized a social activity for this weekend. We’ll see how the
turnout is and then determine how to proceed with other social events.
- Jamika attended the most recent GPC committee meeting.
- One
issue was recruiting top graduate students
- Ideas
include creating a graduate representative position to go to other
graduate student fairs and recruit. This position would provide tuition
and a stipend much like a GTA or GRA.
- Yonca visited the last Graduate Engineering Council
meeting. The CS department gave $300 to help with a professional development
seminar.
