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.”

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.”
