Graduate Resources Committee

Who are we?

The Graduate Resources Committee (GRC) provides graduate students with representation in the Society for Freshwater Science (SFS) and an opportunity to meet and interact with other motivated graduate students and leading members of SFS.

Membership in the GRC is open to all SFS graduate students. We have representatives on many SFS committees. The GRC also includes several sub-committees that actively participate in fundraising and organizing activities to enhance the sense of community within SFS.

What do we do?

Conference events and fundraisers organized by the GRC include the Graduate Student Workshop, Student-Mentor Mixer, Live Auction, Silent Book Auction, and Merchandise Sales.

We are also working with other SFS committees to develop fellowships and activities to support the growing number of undergraduate students attending annual SFS conferences.

How to join?

If you are a graduate student member of SFS and would like to be more involved with your society, please contact this year’s chair, Lauren Kinsman-Costello (kinsmanl@msu.edu).
