Student Executive Committee

The student executive committee (SEC) is a group of motivated graduate students who are committed to the advocacy of their colleagues. As the student voice for the GGIP, SEC members have unique opportunities in the continuing evolution of our graduate group. The Graduate Group in Integrative Pathobiology enjoys the expertise and insight of a versatile set of successful academics, clinicians, and staff. Working closely with faculty, SEC members gain valuable experience in the determination of academic policy and graduate group management. This exposure is an excellent way to see the “other side” of graduate school and to formulate close mentorships with our faculty. We encourage all interested students to speak with SEC members, as we all work as a team to ensure an educational environment conducive to the needs and ambitions of our graduate students.
