Hi everyone!</div>

<p style="direction: ltr;">P-GraSC is now accepting applications for 2024-2025!</p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"> </p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><b>What is P-GraSC? </b></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"> </p>
<p style="direction: ltr;">The PCC Graduate Student Steering Committee (P-GraSC) is a group of ~30 grad students from a diverse group of departments (if you’re interested in climate research, policy, and conversation,
<u>you count as a PCC grad student</u>). The mission of P-GraSC is to form a coherent and organized graduate student steering body in the PCC. P-GraSC is committed to representing the values of the graduate students in the PCC, including amplifying the work
and voices of BIPOC members of the PCC. </p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"> </p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><b>Why join P-GraSC?</b></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"> </p>
<p style="direction: ltr;">P-GraSC is an awesome opportunity to get to know graduate students from departments across the College of the Environment and beyond. Through P-GraSC, you will get a deeper understanding of the breadth and excellence of UW research
in climate science, policy, engineering, public health, and more. You learn to organize events and speak with the public and broader university on issues related to climate change. Overall, you serve as a face for the graduate students of the PCC.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"> </p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"><b>What is the commitment level?</b></p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"> </p>
<p style="direction: ltr;">We are currently seeking nominations for yourself or others to begin a position on P-GraSC starting this fall. In the past, these positions have been 2 years, but if you have less than 2 years left and want to get involved, 1-year
placements are perfectly fine — go ahead and nominate yourself! Also, if you end up wanting to be on P-GraSC for longer than 2 years, we would love to have you stay on!</p>
<p style="direction: ltr;"> </p>
<p class="elementToProof" style="direction: ltr;">P-GraSC meets about once per quarter and sub-committees meet once per month on average. You can do as much or as little work as you’d like: this year, P-GraSC activities included project-based collaboration
with community organizations through ACORN Projects, Graduate Student Seminars, and the Spring Seminar Series. </p>
