The Teaching Assistant Effectiveness Advisory Committee (TAEAC) is a standing committee of the Graduate Council whose purpose is to help enhance the preparedness of all teaching assistants on the campus. The committee is made up of faculty members and teaching assistants from all sizes of departments, to insure that all groups are represented. TAEAC plans, develops, and implements programs, seminars, and other activities throughout the year.
