Chair: Amit Desai
E-mail: gpssacad@usc.edu
Description:
The Academic Affairs committee has two major responsibilities:
- To advocate on behalf of graduate students
- To offer exciting academic programming.
Each semester we try to offer academic events that are both engaging and fun.
We aim to provide smaller scale events (ie - monthly book salons gpssbooks@gmail.com) as well as larger scale seminars and workshops that benefit all graduate students.
This year we're looking forward to bridging departmental gaps by collaborating with members on the HSC campus, Social Programming Committee, and others.
So contact gpssacad@usc.edu for more info! Come with ideas!
