Graduate Students

 

Graduate students involved in LHS serve as Associate Members to the undergraduates of the society. Associate Member involvement and enrichment of LHS opportunities vary based on the graduate student's individual academic, research and professional experiences.

 

Associate Members will meet periodically with the LHS officers and commissioners to coordinate resource support, service and cultural engagement opportunities. Like a mentorship program, LHS Associate Members seek to guide undergraduates through their post-graduate discernment plans (career, service, vocation).
