The GSC advocates for the interests of EMS graduate students as a whole, facilitates the development and implementation of policies that support graduate education, and fosters collaboration across departments. Through regular meetings, dialogue with college leadership, and student-driven initiatives, the Council works to enhance the academic, professional, and social experience of EMS graduate students. 

Getting Involved

How often does the Council meet?
The GSC meets at least monthly during the fall and spring semesters, with additional meetings scheduled as needed. All reasonable attempts will be made to facilitate the council members schedules.
