The GSC plays a role in decisions about admissions, programs, and overall support for our graduate students at the U of A. Maryam Shahrokhi Sardoo, your grad student representative, believes every graduate student's voice should be part of these decisions, as they directly impact your journey here. Whether you have concerns, issues, or ideas for positive change, she is the go-to person for you. Together, let's ensure our department remains a place to grow, learn, and enjoy.
The committee meets once per month.

Students can join the DSA to participate in student advocacy, wellness and sports services that promote oral health. They appoint many of the student representatives to other university committees and groups; and are responsible for lobbying the faculty and school on behalf of student interests.

On their website or at dsa@ualberta.ca.
Each faculty at the university has a council that determines the programs run, appoints examiners and determines results, provides admissions, determines withdrawal reasons for programs and authorizes degrees.
The council has four elected voting positions from the school that represent the interests of students. The Dental Student Association appoints the three undergraduate/graduate student positions, and the GSA nominating committee appoints the graduate representative.
Meets four times per year.
