Seeking Grad Senators: CAHSS and CNMS
FYI
We currently have no applications for senators for next year from CNMS (Phys, Chem, Bio, Math/Stats, etc ...).
Overall, we have 15 applications. Of these, 12 are from COIET and 3 are from CAHSS.
We were late to the game this year, so we expected difficulty getting
all colleges represented, but--as it stands--we will have no
representation from CNMS next year.
While we aimed for the deadline
for application submission to be May 1, it's clear that we should extend
the window. If you're in CAHSS or CNMS, please encourage your peers to
apply to be a graduate senator.
Find below the original message, and feel free to send out to peers who you feel may be interested.

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 interests of all graduate students at UMBC:
1) Attend monthly meetings of the Graduate Senate between August 2019 and May 2020.
2)
Work with other senators to host no fewer than four town halls between
August 2019 and May 2020 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.
For more information on the structure of the Graduate Senate and what it does, please see the GSA webpage (gsa.umbc.edu) and the attached document.
If you are interested in serving as a senator, please fill out the application found at this link by May 5. (link: https://form.jotform.com/91008243426955)
