Graduate Student Assembly (GSA)

GSA functions as an advisory committee for graduate student programs and initiatives. Two or more representatives from each program will serve on the committee. Students are able to self-nominate or be nominated by Graduate Program Directors to these positions. 
 
Students meet monthly with the Associate Director of Student Engagement to: 
  • Discuss the campus climate, graduate student programming, and other graduate student focused initiatives
  • Represent and advocate for the issues, concerns, and proposals of other graduate students
  • Meetings are held virtually so that all graduate students can attend 
GSA Advisor Contact: Simmone Bell (s.bell@chatham.edu)
 
Graduates can self-nominate for GSA or contact their Graduate Program Director.
The Grad News Update (GNU) is a bi-weekly newsletter that comes out from the office of Student Engagement detailing upcoming events, job opportunities, and information that graduate students can take part in. All graduate students will receive this newsletter via email automatically during bi-weekly schedule.
