The Committee has decided that we would like to include a graduate student member, so *I am inviting applications from current graduate students within CNAS*. The purpose and duties of the advisory committee are to advise the Director on strategic directions, research priorities, and partnerships; review annual plans and budgets, participate in Director reviews, and serve as liaison between EDGE and other university units. The advisory committee will hold formal meetings at least twice per academic year (but more likely once per quarter). Terms will be for three years (though 3 years is not a minimum requirement for graduate students who will finish their degree within the next 3 years). If you are interested in joining the EDGE advisory committee, please send me an email including the following information: Name) Department) Degree program) Advisor name) Expected Graduation Year) Connection between your research and EDGE themes (200 words or less) *EDGE Advisory Committee*: Sandra Kirtland Turner, EDGE Director Bob Allen Kurt Anderson Andrew Gray Francesca Hopkins Marko Spasojevic Best, Sandy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
