Student and Postdoc Affairs Committee
The Student and Postdoc Affairs Committee was established in 2020 to facilitate the communication between the graduate students and postdocs who are members of the J. B. Johnston Club, promote the research and accomplishments of its members, generate revenue for student and postdoc travel to the annual meeting, and recruit new student and postdoc members into the J. B. Johnston Club.
As a body, the committee examines graduate student and postdoc concerns and needs within JBJC. It serves as a direct link between students / postdocs and J. B. Johnston Club leadership to ensure the needs of all members are recognized.
