Mission Statement

The School of Public Affairs Graduate Student Council advocates for all graduate students. We are a student-elected, student-led, and student-managed organization. We aim to continuously hear the expressed concerns and needs of the student body to serve as a liaison between students and the SPA administration. Our mission is to use our position as student leaders to ensure that all student voices are heard, all needs are addressed, and to provide a well rounded graduate student experience that fosters relationship building and professional growth.

About Us

The Graduate Student Council is composed of an Executive Board, Program Representatives, and Committee Chairpersons. Together, we foster programming aimed at building community and targeting areas of both professional and personal growth for graduate students.Ìý

Each fall semester, we run elections for Program Representatives and Committee Chairpersons and each spring semester, we run elections for the Executive Board. We encourage all students with an interest in student leadership and giving back to the SPA community, to run. Details are shared via email and social media.Ìý
