Graduate Students
Graduate Student Steering Committee
First convened in October 2009, EAP's Graduate Student Steering Committee (EAP-GSSC) consists of graduate students from departments across campus who are affiliated with EAP. Our goal is to facilitate scholarly exchange among EAP graduate students and faculty, as well as to provide networking opportunities and to represent graduate student interests and concerns.
What We Do
Events organized and hosted by the EAP-GSSC change annually to meet student interests. These are the most recent:
- Invited guest speaker series
- Graduate student conferences
- Fellowship information session
- Writing groups
- Brownbag lunch faculty talks
- Film screenings
- Professionalization workshops
- Dissertation writing boot camps
Activity Funds
Any registered Cornell student organization focused on East Asia is eligible to apply for funding from the EAP-GSSC. The proposed activity must be campus-wide and meet the goal of enhancing the intellectual life of the Cornell community by promoting the study or celebration of East Asia.
To apply, send a proposal to eap-gssc@cornell.edu by November 20 for fall semester events and March 1 for spring semester events.
