PhD Graduate Consultative Committee (GCC)
The primary responsibility of the PhD Graduate Consultative Committee (GCC) is to represent the PhD student body to the faculty of the department of statistical science. Members of the PhD GCC act as liaisons between faculty and PhD students to ensure that the needs and desires of both parties are met and addressed within the department.
The PhD GCC works primarily with the Director of Graduate Studies to ensure all academic needs of the students are met. Complaints or suggestions by the students regarding departmental issues (e.g., seminar, office space, etc.) are brought to the department head by the GCC. GCC elections are held in August every year before the beginning of the fall term.
GCC Activities
Each semester, the GCC organizes activities to help create a sense of community among the graduate students, including events like the ones listed below:
- New Student Orientation and Scavenger Hunt
- Alumni Dinner
- Campout
- Annual Halloween Party
- Admissions Open House
