Created in February 2023, through the merger between the Leavers Commission and the Permanence Policy Commission, due to the understanding that PPGH/UERJ students need to be accompanied and supported during and after the master’s and doctorate courses. The objectives are: 1) Create an interface between the graduate and undergraduate courses, dealing with student’s doubts, mainly those from affirmative action policy students; 2) Give support in dealing with problems related to violence and/or mental health of students, referring them to UERJ’s medical or judicial support sectors; 3) Advise the general coordination about solutions and implementation of measures that support students, seeking to promote student’s permanence on the Programme’s courses; 4) Oversee the production of Programme’s current students, following production goals recommended by UERJ’s Institutional Development Plan, by CAPES and by PPGH’s Collegiate; 5) Analyse the careers of PPGH leavers, intending to identify their academic and/or technical production, as well as where they are carrying out their professional activities; 6) Propose integration activities for students and leavers.
