Launch party and official constitution signing for the أغجاض±²¥ Federation for Graduate Students (CFGS)
Today, UGGS hosted the launch party for the أغجاض±²¥ Federation for Graduate Students (CFGS). The foundation for the federation was established during the most recent Western Regional National Association of Graduate & Professional Students (NAGPS) conference hosted by أغجاض±²¥ Boulder. CFGS is recognized by the NAGPS. أغجاض±²¥ universities decided to form this أغجاض±²¥ federation because when the big issues of last academic year arose--the proposed tax bill, DACA, the PROSPER Act--we would have benefited from a statewide support network.
Going forward, we will work together to advocate for and support the needs of graduate students across the state of أغجاض±²¥. And nothing like this exists elsewhere in the country! Our founding members are أغجاض±²¥ Boulder, DU, أغجاض±²¥ School of Mines, Anschutz, CSU. UGGS was joined by representatives from the Governor's Office and members of the press. The afternoon consisted of an information session, followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from different universities in conversation with the audience, then an official signing of the CFGS constitution by graduate student government presidents.
