Grad Student Volunteer Positions on OGPR GCAC and DACR Committees
The Office of Graduate Programs and Research (OGPR) currently has two graduate student (either Masters or PhD) volunteer positions on two of its committees as described below:
We are looking for a graduate student volunteer for the Graduate Curriculum Advisory Committee (GCAC). The GCAC serves as an advisory committee to departments and the Dean on graduate policy within the Faculty and administers all graduate program and curriculum changes within the Faculty.
We are also looking for a graduate student volunteer for the Dean’s Advisory Committee on Research (DACR). We discuss issues related to research (e.g., representing FOE research to the University community, policies related to research, etc.).
Membership on these committees includes one faculty representative from each Department (EDCP; ECPS; EDST and LLED), the Centre from Cross-Faculty Inquiry (CCFI), and the School of Kinesiology (KIN) as well as two graduate students. Monthly meetings are chaired by the OGPR Associate Dean, Dr. Beth Haverkamp. The GCAC meets every fourth Tuesday of the month from 9:30-12:00pm (approximate) in Scarfe 309C. The meeting schedule for the GCAC is: September 24, October 22, November 26, 2013 there are no scheduled meetings in December, January 28, February 25, March 25, April 22, May 27 and June 24, 2014. The DACR meets every second Tuesday of the month from 9:30-11:30am in Scarfe 309C. The meeting schedule for the DACR is: October 8, November 12, December 10, 2013, January 14, February 11, March 11, April 8, May 13 and June 10. Both committees do not meet during the months of June or July.
Becoming a member of either committee would provide a graduate student with the opportunity to provide a voice for the student perspective on a wide-range of issues and topics relevant to the Faculty of Education as well as the wider University community. If you would like to volunteer for either of these committees, please send me an email, along with a brief outline of why are interested in the committee and what qualities you would bring to the committee.
