== Core Students ==

Highly involved students who are advised by one of the primary advisors. (see "Affiliate Students" below for a related category). 

;What does this role look like?:Core PhD students are expected to attend meetings and events, to participate in research, and to use the groups resources (incl. critique and feedback sessions) to the extent that feels useful to them.

:* '''New core students''': It is expected that new students (i.e., students in their first year) have more limited time to spend on/with the group (due to classes and such) and that they also take time to get familiar with the group, its resources, and its norms. They are expected to take on peripheral chores and help organize events with the help of senior students. They should feel empowered to seek mentorship from advisors as well as senior students. 
:*'''Senior core students''', on the other hand, are expected to take on more leadership roles in handling chores, organizing events, and supporting/onboarding more junior students.
