Graduate Student Advisory Council Opportunity
The School of Graduate Studies is extending its call for applications for the Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC) to fill one remaining College of Engineering & Mines graduate student seat for the 2026–2027 academic year. The GSAC brings together graduate students from across the university to provide input on Graduate School priorities, enhance the graduate student experience, and serve as a liaison between graduate students and the Graduate School. Council members represent a range of colleges, degree levels, and student populations, including both domestic and international students, as well as online and on-campus students.
Council members will:
- Provide a student voice to help shape Graduate School priorities and practices
- Make recommendations to the Graduate School and related units on campus
- Consider ideas and discuss improvements to enhance graduate education and the graduate student experience
- Enhance graduate student awareness of the Graduate School, services, and programming
- Provide representation at a minimum of two Graduate School activities per academic year
Meetings will be held three times each academic year in September, November, and April. Students may serve up to a two-year term, with the option for one additional appointment. Total service may not exceed four years.
This is a valuable leadership opportunity that allows students to share their perspectives, contribute to meaningful improvements in graduate education, and strengthen their professional experience and résumé.
To apply:
Graduate students interested in serving on the Council must self-nominate by completing the application form. The student’s primary advisor must submit the recommendation form before the application will be considered complete. Applications will be reviewed by the School of Graduate Studies selection committee, which will provide recommendations to the Dean for the selection of the new member. The extended application deadline is June 12.
