Rackham School of Graduate Studies
Organogenesis Students and Fellows Association (OSFA)
A student organization has been founded consisting of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are involved or wish to be involved in organogenesis research. The Association is directed by a Steering Committee comprised of six member trainees representing the three different research disciplines of the Center for Organogenesis and includes both graduate students and postgraduate fellows. A faculty member acts as a liaison to the Students and Fellows Association. The Association Steering Committee is responsible for directing the groups activities including: a monthly journal club, recruitment of speakers, publicity, setting agendas and conducting meetings. Additional standing committees (Awards, Informatics) are responsible for special activities of the Association such as selection of recipients for the Annual Organogenesis Students and Fellows Association travel awards. Student liaisons are also chosen to represent the students and attend meetings of the governing and standing committees of the Center for Organogenesis.
Meetings are held monthly. Formats vary and include Journal Club presentations, meeting reports, methods sessions, faculty presentations, or trainee research presentations. Attendance at OSFA meetings is required of all trainees sponsored by the Organogenesis Training Grant.
An email network unites OSFA members and serves as a medium for information exchange regarding seminars, meetings, jobs, methods, and reagents.
National Meetings
Each year, the Students and Fellows Association sponsors two students to attend
national meetings. Students petition the group to attend specific meetings;
an internal competition is held to determine the attendees. The attendees
are required to present a synopsis of the attended meeting to the Organogenesis
Students and Fellows Association upon their return.
