What is PERCoGS?

The Physics Consortium of Graduate Students (PERCoGS) is the body officially tasked with representing the PER Graduate Students (PERGS) at large. PERCoGS is made up of the PERLOC Grad Student Representative, the GPER Exec Committee Grad Student Representative and any other graduate students who want to help in an official capacity. PERCoGS members serve as Spokespeople for the needs and goals of PER graduate students. PERCoGS creates and manages structure that allows the PER graduate students to stay better connected and informed, and to prepare graduate students to more fully participate in the greater PER community once we graduate. 

A PER Graduate Representative Council was elected at the summer 2012 AAPT meeting to create the structure and goals of PERCoGS. Most of the positions turn over on a 1-2 year basis.
