GSC reaches out to the Aggie undergraduates who may choose to continue their education in a graduate or professional degree program. This mission is manifested in Student Research Week, which provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to exhibit and demonstrate their own research experience and ideas.
"GSC's Student Research Week is an amazing opportunity for undergraduates to gain experience presenting their research or research ideas in a comfortable, non-threatening atmosphere," Reese said. "This valuable experience can solidify the desire to continue their education into a graduate program."
Student Research Week gives undergraduate students a taste of a higher degree program, as well as showcasing the gifts A&M possesses in future research possibilities.
"Student Research Week is the largest student led research conference in the United States, and it exemplifies Texas A&M status as a leading research university," GSC President Tracey Wellington said. Wellington is a doctoral student in the Department of Physics.
GSC has an annual Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week, April 20-24. During the week, the University recognizes the contribution of these hardworking individuals to the greater A&M community.
In all of its programs, GSC aims to further combine the goals and objectives of students and the University.
"One of the most important lessons that this organization has taught me is that no matter what stage in life you are in, there are people willing to listen, discuss and address issues you have. GSC is an avenue for graduate students to bring these issues forward, and I'm appreciative for all that the Texas A&M Administration has done to help address these issues," said Vice President for Information Lauren Hulsman. Hulsman is studying for a master's of science in animal breeding and genetics.
Those directly involved in the council feel it is one of the best ways for them to give back to a program, department and University that has helped them further their own educational goals.
"GSC gave me the opportunity to interact with students who were having a similar educational experience, while allowing me to serve," Wellington said.
