About Us

The St. Catherine University (The University) Graduate School Student Advisory Board (The Board) will serve as a liaison between the students in the various graduate programs / schools (The Students) within The University and members of The University administration. 

Objectives of the Board:

• The Board will strive to mediate between The University and The Students, fairly representing the interests of each to the other.

• The Board will provide representation to The University as needed in order to represent the graduate student experience (Ex: Major search processes, University tasks forces, etc.)

• The Board will promote an environment which balances the diverse interests and priorities of The Students.

• The Board will encourage the creation of an environment which recognizes both the need for The Students to grow and develop and the need for The Students to integrate education with family and work obligations.

• The Board will promote and maintain the highest standards of ethics in its actions, including adherence to the letter and the spirit of these bylaws.

• The Board will abide by all of the existing policies of The University, including but not limited to policies on discrimination.

Board Structure

The Board is made up of representatives from each student activity fee-paying graduate program at St. Kate’s. Each program gets up to two votes, though they can provide more than two students representatives. The students in each program have the responsibility of selecting representatives each year.  If you are interested in serving as a representative to GSAB from your academic program, please reach out to your program director. 

Additionally, all graduate clubs have non-voting representatives on GSAB. Please connect with your club leadership if you are interested in serving as the club's representative to GSAB.
