The Graduate Student Program Committee (GSPC), with assistance from an academic advisor, was in charge of organizing the summer school event and the winter networking event annually. The events consisted of national and international speakers from industry and academia, a students presentation competition and a poster session/photo exhibition. These events, which were planned and managed by the ISS students, provided an important experience in organizing large events as part of a team.
