Committees – GPSG

A primary objective of the Graduate and Professional Student Government is to have graduate and professional student representation on University-wide committees. GPSG advocates on behalf of graduate and professional students on issues ranging from housing to academic freedom. If you have specific issues that you feel GPSG should be advocating for, please send an email to the Vice President of Committees. You can also provide feedback via our online form here.
