HPC² Student Association

The HPC² Student Association exists to encourage social and professional interaction among the students who work for CAVS, CCS, GRI, PET, and SimCenter. In the past, the SA also provided many valuable services and resources to the students of the HPC². Some examples are:

  • The HPC² Student Association Advisory Board serves as a liason between the student workers and the administration of the HPC².
  • Representatives of the HPC²SA provide new student workers with orientation and tutorial information in order to bring them up to speed more quickly.
  • The HPC²SA has maintained an online directory of students' resumes which is easily accessible from the HPC²SA website. The resumes were also periodically compiled into a binder for the convenient browsing of potential employers from companies and laboratories that work closely with the HPC².
  • The HPC²SA organized a seminar series where HPC² student researchers could share their most recent progess with an HPC²-wide audience. This series was particularly useful in helping students prepare for more formal presentations at conferences.
  • The Blue shuttle route from the HPC² to the Union was started at the request of the HPC²SA.
  • And as many of you may recall, the HPC²SA also organizes frequent social events, such as pizza and volleyball parties, designed to bring the student researchers together in a more relaxed environment.
