About GSIC

Graduate Student Issues Committee of NERA

The Graduate Student Issues Committee (GSIC) of the Northeastern Educational Research Association (NERA) was initiated by Dr. Kristen Huff from The College Board during the 37th annual NERA Conference in Hudson Valley Resort & Spa in October 2006.

GSIC’s mission is to "support the involvement and professional development of NERA graduate students members and to reach out to new graduate students in an effort to increase the diversity of institutions represented at NERA."

GSIC activities include, but not limited to,

• overseeing the Best Paper by a Graduate Student Award Competition,
• organizing GSIC-sponsored sessions at NERA conferences,
• preparing “The Graduate Lounge” of NERA Researcher, and
• having meetings at NERA conferences with graduate students to brainstorm about GSIC potential future initiatives.

GSIC membership is open to all graduate student members of NERA. Students can nominate themselves or another student by contacting the GSIC chairperson.
