Welcome to The University of Texas at Arlington Graduate Student Senate (GSS). We are glad that you decided to spend a moment here. The GSS was created to cater to the needs and respond to the concerns of more than 6,000 graduate students at UTA. We are the channel through which graduate student concerns are brought to the attention of the deans and administrative staff.

Graduate School is a challenging and rewarding experience. The GSS has worked extremely hard to address key issues, and will continue to do so with input from graduate students. You can play an active part in the policymaking of graduate student issues and graduate education at UTA by joining our organization.

Our general meetings , are the first and third Wednesday of each month and are open to all interested individuals. In additional to our policy meetings, our members also enjoy the opportunity to apply for “members only” travel awards (TAGSS) to present research at conferences, and invitations to relaxing evenings at our various social events. If you cannot participate directly, we invite you to share your insights with us via the “Contact Us” link located on our homepage. The door is always open and we look forward to hearing from each of you.

On behalf of the GSS, we invite you to visit us at our Senate meetings or other GSS sponsored events (please see our calendar for events). Whether you represent your department as the senator or you are a graduate student who desires to serve the community or improve your managerial skills, we have something for you here at GSS.

Should you have any questions please email the GSS exec board at GSS@uta.edu.

Come join us!
Sincerely,

2009 - 2010 GSS Executive Board,
Tim Caldwell, President
Katie Wallis, Vice President
Assiatu Barrie, Secretary
Jenny Blankenship, Public Relations
