Roles of the Basketball Committee

The GPSC Basketball Committee is composed of volunteer members from all of Duke University's Graduate & Professional Schools.

Each year, the Basketball Committee is responsible for planning and overseeing the distribution of season tickets to the men's home basketball games via GPSC Basketball Campout. The policy for ticket distribution is composed by the committee and brought before the General Assembly for approval. The chairs of this committee are nominated by the committee and approved by a majority vote of the General Assembly. The committee makes regular reports to the General Assembly through a specified liaison.

Interested in Joining the Basketball Committee?

As a committee, we are always looking for new volunteers and ideas for Campout. All Duke Graduate and Professional students are welcome to join the Basketball Committee. Though we are affiliated with GPSC, students do not have to be GPSC representatives to be members. There are a number of ways to get involved and volunteer and the degree of involvement is entirely up to each member.

In our entirely biased opinion, there is no other group at Duke that has more fun doing their jobs than us! The Basketball Committee is a great way for students to meet people from outside their own program/school that they would likely never meet otherwise.

The Basketball Committee meets weekly (or twice weekly if needed) from New Student Orientation until Campout. Our first meeting will be held August 22nd, location TBA.  All meetings are announced through the Basketball Committee List-serve and weekly GPSC News emails.

Much of the organization and planning that goes into Campout each year is performed by Sub-Committees. Sub-committee chair positions are filled via an application process that is open to all Graduate & Professional students in the spring. Many sub-committees work during the summer and solicit volunteers for various activities via the list-serve. In the fall, sub-committees will solicit volunteers at Basketball Committee meetings as well as through the list-serve.
