SGS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Graduate Student Advisory Committee

The School of Graduate Studies established the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Graduate Student Advisory Committee in 2022 to advise on the implementation of the SGS DEI Strategic Plan and on DEI priorities beyond the strategic plan. The committee is comprised of students from across disciplinary areas who serve a one-year term and are compensated for their time. The committee meets monthly throughout the academic year, rotates facilitation responsibilities, and is organized through five topically-focused subcommittees.

GSOs have special privileges including the ability to reserve rooms at the university and the ability to request funding from the GSA.  Explore the individual GSOs here and consider forming a new GSO to suit your needs and interests!
