We are looking for graduate students to serve as 2018-19 GPSS Liaisons!
Our GPSS liaisons represent the graduate and professional students on various university committees around campus. Serving as a liaison allows you to have a voice on campus as a graduate student and play role in some of the policies that will impact students. Your voice matters as a graduate student at UW. Have your voice heard and become a GPSS Liaison. Applications can be found here! https://goo.gl/forms/Pf2IkbQzHCatdwqE2 Questions? Please reach out to our GPSS University Affairs Director, Stephanie Becnel at gpssua@uw.edu.
Our Travel Grants committee is still looking for members!
Travel Grants are one of the most direct (and sought after) ways we support UW graduate and professional students, and we need a diverse and thoughtful group to help make decisions about how that money is allocated. There will be seven total meetings throughout the year, as well as independent time required to review applications. We will be setting our first two meetings by TOMORROW (10/26), so please fill out this form if you are interested.
