The Graduate Student Association (GSA) is a
representative student government and advocacy group working for over
8,000 graduate and professional students at the University of Georgia.
We advance student rights and interests, hold exciting socials,
organize community service events, and keep students informed about
issues relevant to graduate student life at UGA. During the regular
school year, this home page is regularly updated with useful
information about issues, GSA activities, and campus events. The best
way to stay informed about GSA and campus events is to sign up for the
GSA listserv. If you do not begin receiving GSA announcements
within one week, please contact Wesley Burnett at gsa@uga.edu to be
added to the GSA listserv. Thank you.
Election Results
We are very pleased to announce that Henry (Hank) Clay has been elected as our new president and Eric Drucker
as the new vice president. We had over 900 votes this year, so thank
you for participating in our elections. Please join us in
congratulating these two outstanding candidates. The Graduate Student
Association is commited to serving the needs of the graduate student
body, we are confident that we will continue to serve your needs under
the leadership of Hank and Eric. These two persons will not officially
assume their roles until June 1st, 2008, however, each is available for
questions and comments. If you have questions, comments, or ideas for
the new leaders for next year please email them to gsa@uga.edu.
We will ensure that the email gets to the proper party. Thank you once
again for participating in our 2008 elections. Best of luck to each of
you as the semester draws to a close.
The Childcare Assessment Survey is now available
A copy of the survey can be found here.
882 Graduate Students indicated that they had children less then five
years old. The Graduate Student Association is astounded that 79% of
882 respondents (or 700 grad students) indicated that they would be very likely
to use a University childcare center, yet only 40 potential seats are
being considered for graduate students. This is an initiative that GSA
will continue to push the administration to increase the number of
spaces available for the children of the graduate student body (and the
undergraduate student as well as we are the only student group fighting
on behalf of this initiative). The current offering only provides for
5% of the total need of the graduate student respondents--that is
ridiculous. This is not the last you will hear of this issue...
