The AERA Division A Graduate Student Committee works collaboratively in order to provide opportunities for other graduate students in the division. The goal is to strengthen and broaden the graduate school experience for Division A students. This is accomplished by disseminating information at annual AERA conference sessions and through the AERA Graduate Student Listserv. Specifically, AERA Division A conference sessions are planned to help fellow graduate students navigate academic life, to provide opportunities for networking with fellow graduate students and faculty, and to offer guidance in transitioning from graduate student life to careers as professional scholars and researchers.
During the AERA conference, the Graduate Student Council sponsored a Fireside Chat featuring guest panelists: Dr. Judy Alston (Ashland University); Dr. Susan Faircloth (Colorado State University); Dr. Cristóbal Rodríguez (Howard University); Dr. Lawrence Scott (Texas A&M University, San Antonio); and Dr. Jemimah Young (University of Iowa).
