As graduate students, we continue to grow our
influence and representation on campus. As part of that, we are beginning to
become more involved in various committees, panels, and organizations related to
the university's function. These are vital to GPSG's mission to increase our
influence and visibility on campus. In addition, it gives you the
opportunity to be the voice for graduate students on campus!
Please read below and e-mail the
president of GPSG if you are interested in
standing for any of these positions.
For more information on other ways to be involved, including
other committees, visit the How to Get
Involved page.

At-Large Member of the Student Activity Fees Commission
(SAFC)
Current Representative:
None, ORG ~ Department
Filled: Apply in January, appointed in March
The SAFC is responsible for overseeing how activity fee money is distributed,
dispensed, and managed. They are the primary decision-makers on a number of
issues related to how money is spent on student fees. It is crucial that the
graduate student perspective is represented in the opinions of those making the
decisions. However, at-large members are responsible for representing ALL
students on campus, and not just graduate students. Because of that, to fill
this position, you must apply separately from GPSG, and you will be independent
of GPSG in the decisions you make. Still, your perspective on issues will be a
very important addition to the SAFC, and we strongly encourage interested
graduate students to apply. For more information, please visit the SAFC web site
