* About GSA Senators: GSA senators participate in CUA's Graduate Student Association meetings representing LIS students. Our participation in GSA guarantees the department a portion of student activity funds, which is used for LIS-related events and activities and to reimburse students for the cost of attending conferences and joining professional organizations (see our funding page for more details). There are a total of 6 GSA meetings per semester, once every 2 weeks on Wednesdays from 7:30pm to approximately 9:00pm. To remain in good standing and get our rebate, we must have 50% attendance.
As of Fall 2019, the GSA senator is no longer an officer of AGLISS - the senator position is now independent of any student org, and receives funding requests from all students and student organizations equally.
Further details about GSA senators can be found here: CUA GSA
All positions are appointed for an academic year. Officers interested in serving for an additional term can be reappointed. The responsibilities are flexibly adjusted depending on officers' interests in serving.
