 The CEPM GSO is an organization made up of all CEPM students in order to provide student input into the quality of the CEPM Program graduate experience. All CEPM students are encouraged to attend and participate in the meetings held regularly during the semester.
Mission: The CEPM GSO’s mission is to leverage support for students in achieving their highest academic potential through presenting their interests to the CEPM faculty as well as promoting a series of extracurricular venues to encourage social interaction for the students, their families and friends.
Vision: The CEPM GSO will be a vital element to student and faculty interaction, which will help facilitate the continued success of the CEPM program at UT as one of the finest in the country.
Activities: Some of the accomplishments and continuing activities include:
- A CEPM golf tournament each semester
- Soccer, softball, basketball, and flag football teams' participation in intramural tournaments
- Various social activities
- Voice mail service in student offices
- Exit surveys for program feedback
- Support the CEPM faculty in organizing the CEPM students’ recruitment weekend and the fall orientation session
- Linkage to the Graduate Engineering Council (GEC)
- Improvement of the CEPM computer lab
- In progress: Construction Means and Methods course initiative.
Organization: The CEPM GSO is administratively governed by at least seven CEPM student representatives: Ph.D. students, master's students, international students and military students. The duties of each representative are straightforward and require a modest time commitment. The duties of the position would entail attending the scheduled meetings, consulting with the CEPM graduate student body to identify issues and concerns, prioritizing initiatives, coordinating and providing resources for initiatives, and providing status updates to the CEPM graduate student body. Using the CEPM GSO to focus the efforts of all of the CEPM graduate students should improve the quality of the overall CEPM graduate experience.
