INTRODUCING THE POSTGRAD SUB-COMMITTEE

The postgrad sub-committee play a key role in supporting our TASA postgraduate members.
The sub-committee represents these members on TASA’s Executive Committee and is responsible for running a range of events and initiatives each year.

The first Postgraduate Executive position began in 2003 and it is now in its tenth successive term (2021-2022).
In 2013, the Postgraduate Sub-Committee was established by the then Postgraduate Executive Representative, Karen Soldatic, for the term 2013 – 2014.

Key areas of focus for the sub-committee include: establishing international networks with similar postgraduate organisations;
providing helpful resources, such as the postgraduate transition to employment; and developing TASA postgraduate web strategies.
Since forming, the committee has worked together on several projects, including the creation of this new website.

Meet our 2023-2024 Postgraduate Portfolio Leader below!
