The Student Representatives Committee (SRC) seeks to promote the interests and improve the quality of the graduate educational experience for students in the Social Research Methodology Division. The student-run committee is composed of one or two senior members from the 3rd year cohort, and one or two junior members from the 2nd year cohort. The committee represents SRM students in several campus organizations, including the Graduate Students Association in Education (GSAE) and the UCLA Graduate Students Association (GSA). We also attend SRM faculty meetings to give students a voice in issues and decisions of relevance to our studies and progress in the program. Finally, we organize and sponsor a variety of social events and activities to promote a strong peer-to-peer network and sense of community within SRM.
