GPSS Representative
Duties: This officer represents AL&L at the Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) meetings on campus. This officer can help AL&L graduate students bring awareness to events by advertising them at GPSS meetings, petitioning for special funding for graduate student-related events and/or department equipment. A special thing AL&L brings to GPSS in that our department has a greater number of international students and, as such, our representative brings a different point of view to the Senate
