GPSS Senator
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 is that our department has a greater number of international students, and as such, our representative brings a different point of view to the Senate.
Contact me if: 1) you are interested in this position, or 2) you have any questions regarding advertising graduate events campus-wide, extra funding options for events or the department, etc.
