Young Professional and Student Group (YPSG)

 

Background

In 2013, the Student Chapter of FCCP was expanded to include young professionals, the “Young Professional and Student Group” (YPSG). The YPSG was created to provide ongoing access to FCCP activities and networking opportunities while students transition from undergrad to higher education or to new careers. At the same time, FCCP recognizes the benefits of attracting and supporting students and young professionals who will become members and potential leaders within FCCP. The framework was established to encourage inter-disciplinary collaboration through the young professional liaisons (YPL) representing various FCCP Sections.
