GEMS members can serve on a variety of committees. Two committees, the Event Committee and the Outreach Committee are open to volunteers. See below for more information on all of our committees as well as the contact information for our Event and Outreach Committee.
Members include GEMS officers and chairs of the Outreach, Event, and Resource committees. Members manage and strategically plan overall board objectives, goals, and related activities.
Members plan programs and events involving students, alumni, faculty, and staff from the college and its departments.
