2011-2012 Division C Graduate Student Officers

The 2011-2012 Graduate Student Committee consists of the following students who are supervised by Dr. Linnenbrink-Garcia and Dr. Gale Sinatra.

Graduate Student Co-Chairs
The graduate student co-chairs are responsible for providing Division C graduate students with resources that facilitate growth as scholars.  An aim of the Co-Chairs is facilitating communication between Division C graduate students across the globe, primarily through the Campus Liaisons, newsletters, AERA business meetings, and this website.  The co-chairs also plan a special session at AERA that is generally focused on new directions in teaching and learning.  The goal of this session is to bring members together to engage in a collaborative discussion on a contemporary topic. In recent years, Co-Chairs also help coordinate a social event for Division C graduate student members.

Campus Liaisons
Campus Liaisons help disseminate important information to fellow graduate students on their campuses
such as AERA resources, activities, and opportunities for graduate students. This group also provides important feedback to the Division C Graduate Co-Chairs and GSC Representatives on important issues throughout the year.  We seek to expand the Liaison network – both in terms of number of campuses involved and in terms of interactions with each other and Division C graduate student leadership. By becoming a campus liaison, you will support AERA, promote your university, and have an opportunity to grow as a Learning and Instruction scholar. 

If you have an interest in becoming a campus liaison, please contact Brittany Hott ([email protected]).
