Many thanks to the 244 people who voted in the GSS elections this year, we had our highest-ever voter turnout! We are so glad to see so many graduate students participate in the election of their Senators.
We appreciate everyone's interest in the GSS, and we hope that everyone continues to be involved in GSS activities. Remember that all GSS General Senate meetings are open, and we also hold many social, service, advocacy, and professional development events! Check out the GSS calendar for upcoming activities.
For candidates who were not elected this year, the GSS has been working to implement a department-specific position of graduate student representatives. We are very excited to get this up and running, and I hope that you will consider representing your department and college as a representative. Look for more information in September!
