ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥

To our graduate and professional colleagues,

Now that we are beginning to settle for the semester, the Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) executive team is aiming to send a weekly update to provide transparency on what we are working on and provide the latest resources for you. These updates will be announced at Assembly Meetings on Tuesdays, with an updated version released to the campus later in the week.

Upcoming events and opportunities:

• GPSG meetings

  • - Tuesdays 6pm

  • - Tuesdays 4pm

  • - Mondays 10am

• For the latest campus-wide updates, be sure to read the ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder Today Graduate Student Edition for upcoming workshops, seminars, and events. Be sure to subscribe, if you are not already receiving this in your email feed.

GPSG week in review:

• Interviewed candidates for the following positions: ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥SG Senator, Strategic Alignment Committee (ratified in Assembly), and Standing Committee for Research Misconduct (ratified in Assembly).

• Planning meetings with Chancellor, Graduate School, and ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥SG Executives

• Meeting with Graduate Housing on Thursday (9/2) to discuss lease policy changes. Share to oppose changes to grad housing. We encouraged the Assembly to draft a resolution to complement the UCW measures.
