It might be summer break, but GSAC is hard at work! we recently had our first retreat at Der Dutchman in Walnut Creek.

Our first order of business: start developing a document to help define graduate student rights and responsibilities. ✅
Our second order of business: have fun! ✅✅

We would say both tasks were accomplished. Stay tuned for more updates!

Join in on the fun this week! Why did you get involved in research?

It's Celebration of Research Week so we asked our STARS cohort, "why did you get involved in research?"

"I think I was a social scientist before I knew what one was. I often found myself thinking about systemic issues that were influencing the high school students I worked with as a teacher. Their ability to thrive was intricately tied to sociopolitical and sociocultural factors. There was not just one thing one could point to that determined their success or struggle. When I attended graduate school, I got excited that you could study these factors and consider strategies to improve livelihoods."

-Dr. Jera Niewoehner-Green

Keep checking back throughout the week to see the why behind some of our CFAES research.

Congratulations to one of our very own GSAC members, Nicole!!

Nicole Volk, a masters student in agricultural communication, education, and leadership, attended the James B. Beam Institute Industry Conference, where she presented her thesis research, Agriculture Distilled: Enhancing authenticity through integrated agricultural connections.
