Graduate Studies

The Fontaine Coordinating Committee (FCC) is comprised of volunteers who plan and carry out programming for the Fontaine Society, with support from the Provost’s Office. Currently there are six committees, listed below. The FCC holds an annual retreat and prepares a year-end progress report.

Participation on the FCC is a great way to get involved in supporting the Fontaine community, and new volunteers are always welcome. Generally, the FCC meets monthly, on the third Tuesday (12-1 PM) at the Graduate Student Center. Contact the students listed for more information.
