Representatives

    You can find out if you are represented by looking at the roster below. GSA encourages all departments and student organizations to send multiple representatives to our GSA Council meetings. With more than one representative, it increases the proportion of graduate students represented as a whole and allows for representatives who miss a meeting to still send someone from their department or organization. Some departments have a formal process for electing someone to represent their interests in GSA, other departments are represented by whomever has the interest and dedication to their fellow graduate students to volunteer. GSA strongly encourages you to be a representative. The ability of GSA to truly represent the interests of all graduate and professional students depends upon your participation.

    If you are already set to be a GSA representative, thank you. We look forward to hearing your ideas and concerns at the GSA Council meetings. If your department or organization is not represented, then volunteer to be a representative! No experience is necessary - just a willingness to work with other graduate students like yourself. The commitment is simply to ask people within your department about their interests and concerns, and to communicate those interests and concerns at the GSA Council meetings. You are also expected to attend our four (4) meetings per semester and to forward all GSA email messages to your department or organization listserv. You can get access to department listservs through your graduate coordinator or advisor. GSA is currently working towards automatic access for all students to our listserv so everyone has information current issues, concerns, and discussions. Thank you.

If you want to join the GSA Council, please fill out the form below and hit the "send" button.

Comments or Questions

    Below is a list of all departments offering graduate/professional degrees around campus. All current representatives are listed. Departments without representatives are listed in red because we need representatives from these departments! (P.S. Let us know if we missed your department - and consider being your department's representative!)
