advisory committee

In 2002 PEPG formed the advisory committee, under the chairmanship of Bruce Kovner, founder of Caxton Associates, to counsel the program on potential research topics, ways of communicating to a broader audience, and other ideas for improving the program. The committee has since met on an annual basis and has been instrumental in assisting the program achieve its core missions.
