The PGS Research Committee is a body of veteran academics that are charged with the authority of both determining contemporary research needs and delineating or structuring the school’s research projects clearly or/and robustly. The Committee also reserves the oversight of the quality control of students’ research works (both modest and comprehensive) and of the school’s action plan for such research activities integral to the partially-acquired academic insights from course-work and lectures. An autonomous body, the Research Committee is appointed by the School Board of Directors and recognized by the University to work largely at its own discretion in furthering standard research practices and goals—both domestically and otherwise.
