About the Council
What is the Council?
The Graduate Student Council consists of representatives from every
department on campus. Departments with forty or fewer graduate students
receive one representative, and departments with greater than forty
graduate students receive two representatives. The Council acts as the
legislative and executive body of the Graduate Student Association and
has the power to direct the actions of the Executive Board.
Why should I
attend Council meetings?
For starters, we feed you. More importantly, you will learn what is
happening on campus from issues affecting students to upcoming conferences
and speakers and even ways that you can become more involved. You can
also make your voice heard. If there is something happening that you
feel needs to to be addressed, the Council can help by adding a chorus
of voices behind yours.
How do I get
something on the agenda?
Contact the GSA president (gsaucr@ucr.edu)
or come into the office and meet with an officer at least one week before
the meeting. If you would like to propose the Council take action on
something, write a resolution. If you would like to request funding
from our conference and speaker fund, a detailed outline of what to
do can be found here. If you just want to make an announcement, show
up to the meeting. There is always time at the end of the meeting for
anyone to make any announcements they wish.
