Contact the GSG Officers and Representatives
The GSG is composed of an Executive Council and a General Council. The Executive Council is elected in the Spring of each year, according to our bylaws, and is comprised of nine positions: President, Vice President, Director of Finance, Director of Communications, Director of Academic Affairs, Director of Engagement, Director of Equity & Outreach, Director of International Student Affairs, and Director of Media and Marketing. General Council members are elected from within each degree-granting department or college, during the first colloquium meeting of the year; Department Heads may also appoint a Department Representative if needed.
