In accordance with the GSA constitution, the
following GSA committees have been formed to help keep the attention
and energy of GSA focused on key issues. Committee membership is not
exclusive to GSA Representatives, so all graduate and
professional students are encouraged to get involved
with any issue that interests them. If you would like to join a
committee, or simply contribute some suggestions related to a given
committee's mission, please e-mail the committee's chairperson or the
GSA President. Committees are designated either as a constitutionally
mandated standing committee or an ad hoc committee formed by GSA
