The duties of the office include chairing the GPSG Finance Committee, representing graduate student needs on the Student Activity Fee Commission, maintaining and monitoring GPSG budgetary records, administrating all funding requests (e.g., events, travel, etc.), acting as liaison with the SAFC Business Manager on all financial matters, proposing and explaining the GPSG budget, ensuring compliance with the Treasury Laws, and reviewing, revising, and editing these same laws as necessary.

A moderate stipend is included to help offset the 3-4 hours per week that the office is expected to entail.

The duties of the office will include (1) reaching out to unrepresented academic departments, (2) serving on the Social Committee, (3) helping plan, organize, and stage graduate student events throughout the year, (4) serving as GPSG voice to on-campus events that draw graduate students, such as the International Coffee Hour, and (5) attending and participating in all Executive Board meetings and decisions.
