Planning and Advisory Committee
The PAC provides indispensable intellectual and programmatic leadership for the Social Science Research Council’s Mellon Mays Graduate Initiatives Program. It is comprised of seven Mellon Fellows, five who have completed the doctoral degree and two who are senior graduate students. The PAC serves as the key link between Mellon Fellows and program staff, and plays a key role in reaching out to, and representing, the diverse communities of the SSRC-Mellon community. The PAC also serves as an important mechanism in channeling the scholarly expertise and mentorship skills of the Mellon PhDs back into the program
