Wednesday • November 5, 19' Student council provides voice for graduate student: By Bran dye Brown Staff writer The primary concern of the Graduate Student Council (GSC) is to act as an advocate for graduate and professional student issues, GSC members said. Clifton Griffin, GSC president and a doctorate student in the Department of Wildlife and Fishery Sciences, said the GSC focuses on graduate student needs as well as concerns of the University. “Many issues affect graduate students as students,” he said, “but graduate students are much more than students because we function as teaching assistants, and play a leading role in research.” Blake Murden, GSC wildlife and fishery sciences representa tive and a doctorate candidate in the wildlife and fishery sciences department, said the GSC always has been at the University in some form. “But in 1993, the GSC became an active player in the University, because it began to have participa tion by and representation from a majority of the departments around campus.” Griffin said the GSC has become more active in the past three years as cooperation has increased between the GSC and graduate students, the GSC and the Student Government Association (SGA) and the GSC and the administration. “Currently, we have over 50 departments represented and meeting attendance runs around 60,” Griffin said. “The GSC has rep resentatives from every college, but we are still working to have all the departments represented.” Pam Hunter-Homes, GSC finance officer and master’s stu dent in the Department of Sociology, said representatives of the GSC are responsible for distrib uting information from the GSC meetings to constituents. “Graduate students are spread out across the campus and depart ments are separated, so the bimonthly meetings on the first and third Tuesday of every month of the Graduate Student Council allow us to get information out to all graduate students and give a chance for graduate students to bring their concerns before the graduate student body as a whole,” Hunter-Holmes said. Griffin said the keystone event of the GSC is the annual Research Competition which is a speaking and poster presentation open to students to present their research to the University community. Murden said the Research Competition is a week long event open to all students, including undergraduates. “This is a vehicle for graduate students to present their research as to fellow graduate students ai professors,” he said. “It includ cash prizes and recognition. \ will invite big name guest spea ers to speak about their resear during the week.” Murden sa the GSC is involved with unde graduates and the administrate to deal with the issue of parki: on campus. “We have suggested throu; resolution that the University ha a private consulting firm or secoi party to analyze the parking situ tion from Bus [Operations] parking space, because it is oh ously a problem that concerns t whole campus communit Murden said. Chris Christensen, GSC interr affairs officer and a master’s sti dent in education administratic said the GSC is building bon with Student Government ai other student leaders to let ti administration know the seriou ness of issues they present. “The real strength of the GSC when we speak with the und graduates, so it is important thi student government bodies ha lit “This is a very focused ® undergraduate institution but the GSC is the | communication link with undergraduates and j I administrators.” CHRIS CHRISTENSEN l(| GSC INTERNAL AFFAIRS OFFICER cohesion,” he said. “When stv dents talk as a whole the admini tration listens.” Christensen said each year ti GSC builds on the foundation la in previous years. “I believe we have come a lor way because even 5 years ago, G: was in an infantile state and no we have a cohesive group that able to communicate with aimo all graduate students and so the are aware of the issues that affe them,” he said. “However, the GS still has a long way to gain til respect that SGA has.” Christensen said the Aggie Rir Resolution presented to tf Association of Former Studen with the support of the Studei Senate is evidence of the success < the cooperation between the GS and the SGA. “We are making steps to corr to the point where we can t recognized similarly to unde graduate population, yet diffe ent,” he said. “Graduate studen are unique in teaching air researching. This is a vef, focused undergraduate institi tion, but the GSC is the commi | nication link with undergradi ates and administrators.” MSC MBA/Law Committee Presents Ti»t JU poslum 'in Have the opportunity to network and ash questions with leading professionals within ; x : Z' "W your field of interest!! m November 14th 6-8 PM 601 Ruddet Law November 15 th 8 AM-11:30 PM IJ 12:30-5:15 PM Business [ ■ It Tickets are $5 for Law or Business and $10 for both, and will be on sale until November 3 in MSC 227--J Resumes of participants need to be turned into MSC 227-J by November] 6- Persons with disabilities please call 845-1515 to inform us of your special needs.
