Additionally, Austin coordinates the biannual CTEC Advisory Council meetings, designs and distributes the CTEC newsletter, and oversees the Summer Research Assistant Program (SRAP). Above all, he enjoys the SRAP the most since he meets a variety of qualified candidates during the recruiting phase of the project.
