We recognize that leadership and community activities can enhance the career development of our graduate students. Graduate students play a very important role in outreach events, such as providing tours of the laboratory and giving demonstrations to explain science at exhibitions and schools. You work in close collaboration with FRIB outreach coordinator and also take initiative in developing new programs. Graduate students also participate in explaining the importance of science for the future well-being of the nation and beyond to the general public and policymakers. There are many opportunities to make an impact, and doing so is welcomed at FRIB. 

In addition, there are several graduate student organizations in which FRIB graduate students are active and often play leading roles: 

• MSU Council of Graduate Students (COGS)
• Physics Graduate Organization (PGO)
• Graduate Employee Union (GEU)
• FRIBGO

Graduate students can also take advantage of the MSU Service-Learning Center, which acts as a clearinghouse for volunteers who strive to combine research, teaching, and service.
