| The Student Advisory Committee is the departmental committee that represents all graduate students, through which the department "participates in the University-wide program which promotes active involvement of students in academic decision-making." (Quote from the Graduate Student Handbook of the Statistics Department) "The main function of the committee is to act as a liaison between faculty and students. By making themselves available for comments from both groups, the committee promotes effective communications from both groups; the committee promotes effective communications and student awareness of departmental policies. A member of the S.A.C. attends departmental faculty meetings." "In addition, the S.A.C. sponsors social/recreational events and enters teams in various intramural programs available on campus. The S.A.C. is also responsible for the assignment of graduate student office space in the Oceanography/Statistics Building (OSB)." |
