I served as a mentor and undergraduate voice for several events and programs. Most notably, I collaborated with a diverse panel of graduate students, post-docs, staff, and faculty to develop a department-wide code of conduct based on the community's needs. To assess this, we organized a department-wide all hands meeting to listen to the needs and concerns of the whole community. Based on the outcomes of this meeting, we elected a sub-committee to begin writing a code of conduct based on our recommendations from the community meeting.
