Make Your Voice Heard! Represent Your Department!
The GSA is seeking applications for senators who will serve throughout the next academic year. Such senators would have the following general responsibilities as they represent either their college or the general (cultural/non-academic) interests of all graduate students at UMBC:
1) Attend monthly meetings of the Graduate Senate between August 2021 and May 2022.
2) Host town hall with other Senators between August 2020 and May 2021 aimed at gathering input and feedback from graduate students
3) Serve on at least one university committee
4) Other tasks as assigned by the Graduate Senate or Executive Council (such as following up on an issue or comment)
Senators who fulfill these responsibilities will be eligible to receive a stipend of $200 per semester.
Note that as the campus remains closed, the GSA Senate will plan to conduct business virtually (this will include meetings, town halls, events, etc.). As any changes are announced, the GSA Executive Council will be sure to keep the GSA Senate informed. Stay tuned for updates through spring/summer as we transition into the fall semester and thank you for your interest in serving on the Graduate Student Senate!
For more information on the structure of the Graduate Senate and what it does, please visit the GSA webpage (gsa.umbc.edu) and familiarize yourself with our governing documents.
If you are interested in serving as a Senator, please fill out the below application by May 15, 2021.
Email gsa@umbc.edu with any questions.
