Huck Graduate Student Advisory Committee

The mission of the Huck Graduate Student Advisory Committee (HGSAC) is to represent the graduate students of the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences by promoting their interests and advocating on important issues. Our visions are in line with those of the Huck Institutes as we aim to: • Act as a voice of the graduate student body by facilitating communication among students, faculty, and administration • Ensure that Huck students are prepared for the realities of the future of science by preparing them for careers both inside and outside of academia • Provide resources to strengthen leadership, communication, and teamwork skills by organizing networking events and professional development activities to help students succeed in their careers • Facilitate interaction and develop stronger links between individual Huck graduate programs, Huck programs and other departmental programs, and Huck students and other student organizations both on a professional and social level • Assist graduate students financially by acting as a source of funding for Huck student groups
