Keck Center Executive Committee
The Keck Executive Committee formulates training policy in terms of didactic courses, seminars, workshops, retreats, selecting trainees, and advising Keck Fellows and mentors, while leaving individual program directors latitude to tailor the implementation of these to the unique needs of their program. Both Keck Center faculty and external reviewers have attested to the effectiveness of the Keck Center (and the GCC) and the synergistic benefits of combining complementary research and training programs under the broad umbrella of the GCC.
