CECAS Professional Development and Retreat Committee (Stephanie Evans, Taylor Rosenberger, Madison Carter, Sarah Pruitt, John-Austin Wyatt, Dana Simpson)

“This team has done an incredible job of planning, developing, and deploying the 2026 CECAS Graduate Student Services retreat! On top of their actual jobs of advisors, directors, and coordinators, they spent months meeting, brainstorming, surveying, gathering presenters, and demoing presentations (some of which they even did themselves!) all in order to give CECAS Student Services staff a day to come together, team build, and learn skills in software and programs that will assist them in their jobs. They did all of this while navigating budget guidance and still delivered the most comprehensive retreat yet!” – Jeremiah Farmer, Director of Graduate Student Services, College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences
