MSTP Student Organization

Student Executive Committee

Established in 2004, our student executive committee is designed to:

• Address issues identified by students concerning program strengths and weaknesses
• Empower and engage students to participate actively in the planning and execution of the program
• Facilitate student support of one another

Executive Committee elections are held each spring, but any interested student can participate in the standing committees.
