The SESE Graduate Council (GC) began in 2009 as an effort to establish better lines of communication between the graduate students and the faculty. GC has 9 elected graduate students in the following roles: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Graduate Student Advocates (3), and Recruitment Chairs (2). 

Our primary goal is to provide support to the graduate student body through informational seminars, resource documents, important deadline reminders, and open meetings. Our major contribution to the department is the organization and orchestration of Recruitment Weekend for prospective graduate students. Other efforts include organizing social and community building events, providing support during qualifying exam season, and advocating for graduate students as issues arise. 

We host one open meeting every semester, but we are always interested in your ideas, concerns, and questions. You can email anyone on the current graduate council or fill out the anonymous form below anytime!
