    How To Join Us

    The Graduate Student Senate is constantly active and involved on campus, and so, is always in need of additional members to strengthen our impact on the UTA community.

    If you have a suggestion on improving UT Arlington, or are looking to make friends, build leadership skills, or make a difference, the Graduate Student Senate can help you in each of those areas.

    We would like to invite you to attend one of our open meetings held in the Student Congress Chambers in the basement of the University Center. Our meetings are the first and third Thursday every month at 5:30 p.m. Be sure to check the calendar for date or location changes.

    You can email the officers at gss@uta.edu to obtain further information on the senate. We look forward to meeting you and listening to your suggestions on the necessary changes at UT Arlington.
