WHAT DO WE DO?

Many people wonder what the Executive, Staff, and Committees are doing.  The below list shows you the breadth of the activities of the GSU. We encourage all graduate students to get involved! The Executive will also be responding to the GSU Council and our membership throughout the year, creating campaigns, responding to the Administration, and fighting, as always, to defend graduate students. 

2010/2011 Sub-Committees

Each year, the GSU Executive strikes the sub-committees of the Union. Each sub-committee works on a number of issues that have been identified as needing particular emphasis. All members of the GSU are welcome and encouraged to become active with the 2010-2011 sub-committees, listed below.
