2007-2008 GSA Senate
The Mission of the Senate
The very nature of graduate student life means
your attention remains focused on your immediate department.
Graduate students often feel isolated from the rest of the
university or even within their very own department; we must
therefore strive to create a vibrant and active sense of community
in which all graduate students are welcome to participate-- we are
all in this noble but unrelenting voyage we call graduate school
together.
The current structure of graduate student
community does not make it an easy task for the GSA to do our duties
and stay in touch with the graduate student community at large. The
senate exists to ensure that the GSA is receiving enough information
and feedback from those whom they represent; the senate is also
responsible for getting the word out about graduate student programs
to people who are spread apart between 3 different schools and
different sides of campus. The senate is also a forum for
entertaining initiatives from the graduate community at large on how
to spend the discretionary funds available from the activities fee
and receiving feedback from the student body.
