Graduate Student Senate

Welcome to the Graduate Student Senate at The University of Iowa.

The site is designed to keep The University of Iowa community up to date with our activities, events, meetings, and membership. Here are some highlights and things we've been up to:

• The Event Calendar is the best place to find information about events going on for graduate students.   We'll put all GSS related events on there, but we also want to include other events that may be of interest to graduate students.  If you know of an event, contact us with the details and the event will be added!
• We're trying to increase the photos we have in our gallery. We've posted the few we could find from a collection of years. If you have any to be displayed, please send them to the webmaster with a brief description!
• Update 10/7/2011: New to this academic year is the Legislative Committee.  We decided that as the governing body for graduate students we should have a more active role in university and Iowa politics/legislation.  If you'd like to be involved contact the committee chair.
• Update 10/7/2011: The University of Iowa Main Library will be undergoing extensive renovations.  We're quite excited about them, as it will make the library even better!  But, as a result of the renovations the dedicated graduate student space was scheduled to be completely removed.  After hearing this, GSS began talks with the library and planning committees.  We've been able to secure a section of the library after remodeling that will be for graduate student use only!  If you are a graduate student at UIowa, you will be receiving a web survey asking how to best utilize this space.  During the remodeling, several professors have volunteered to donate their office space in the library for graduate student use (thank you very much to all the faculty that graciously donated their space).
• Update 10/7/2011: GSS is going social!  Follow us on twitter @UIowaGSS and like our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/UIowaGSS to stay up to date with all our happenings!
