Student Leadership Council / Student & Postdoc Association

Students at the 2022 Winter Retreat in Snowbird, Utah.

The Student Leadership Council, consisting of five graduate students and one undergraduate student, manages the CQN Students and Postdocs Association. This group fosters a sense of community and both social and professional interactions among dozens of students scattered across ten campuses. In addition to fun activities like skiing, hiking, and urban exploration, the SLC also sponsors an interdisciplinary lecture series, the NSF Perfect Pitch competition, and a hackathon.
