Goodbye/Hello to Interdisciplinary Doctoral Student Council Officers

The Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Council (IDSC) had a tremendous year.  This year the Council obtained travel funds from the Student Government Association to allocate to students working in the IPhD program.  These funds were to support travel to professional meetings and were in addition to the funds allocated by the School of Graduate Studies.  This year also marked a very successful Community of Scholars celebration at the end of the academic year.  Additionally, a symposium on graduate student research was held along with a panel discussion on the job search once you have the doctoral degree.

The current officers for this last year were:

  • President: Alison Coupland
  • Vice President: Ben Wilson
  • Treasurer: Maggie Holley
  • Student Government Association Representative : Mitch Green / Ben Wilson / Avi Baranes (sub)
  • Student Activity Funding Committee Representative: Alex Binder

These officers have worked very hard to make UMKC a better place for graduate education.

To continue their hard work and successful year, the School of Graduate Studies welcomes the new IDSC officers for the upcoming academic year:

  • President: Ben Wilson
  • Vice President: Brad Poos
  • Secretary: Harika Vemula
  • Treasurer / Student Activity Funding Committee Representative: Alex Binder
  • Student Government Association Representative: Leslie Scott

If you are interested in volunteering on the IDSC Executive Board, please contact Ben Wilson (bcwd54@mail.umkc.edu) or Connie Mahone (mahonec@umkc.edu) for information on open positions for the 2013-14 academic year.
