Student Leadership Council
The
Student Leadership Council (SLC) is a formal group of students involved
in performing MCEER research under the supervision of a faculty advisor. Since
its inception, MCEER has included and encouraged student efforts throughout
its research program and in all of the disciplinary specialties concerned
with earthquake hazard mitigation. Many former students are now in academia,
professional practice or government agencies applying knowledge gained during
their exposure to MCEER research. While associated with MCEER, students participate
in annual Center Investigator meetings, attend conferences, workshops and
seminars, and have the opportunity to make presentations at these events.
The SLC was formed in 1999 to formalize these programs and to afford students
from many different institutions the opportunity to meet with each other and
develop/improve interaction.
