Graduate Student and PostDoc Association
Contents
Overview
The Graduate Student and Post-Doc Association (GSPDA) consists of Students and Post-Doc from the Jefferson Lab community. It is led by a committee of volunteers who assist and engage in activities throughout the year. JSA Initiative funds have been awarded again to this group which allow for monthly pizza seminar, a summer picnic and a software workshop.
All users are strongly encouraged to sign up for the CUGA email list - please contact Lorelei Carlson (lorelei@jlab.org) if you have any difficulty.
