What do Professional Development (PD) & Social Chairs do?
PD & Social Chairs serve as leaders for each cohort – they are the backbone of our TSA community! They collaborate across cohorts to provide learning and social opportunities for all TSA Scholars. Inquire with Dr. Andersson if you have leadership skills and abilities to foster collaboration and teamwork and are interested in serving as a PD & Social Chair.
