GSC Representatives
|
| |
A. |
2 to 3 (usually second- or third-year) students from the graduate
student body volunteer for a term of service of up to 2 years.
If more than 3 students volunteer, the current representatives
will hold a vote. Positions are staggered in the sense that
every year there will be at least one representative who has
served previously.
|
| |
B. |
Representatives are required to hold meetings each semester
where issues relevant to graduate study are raised and discussed.
Graduate Student Advisory Council Representatives for the Department
will also attend so they may take issues dealing with graduate
student life to a GSAS-wide forum. Representatives should, however,
be contacted whenever questions arise. |
