Call for members: 2024-25 Graduate Student Advisory Committee

The School of Graduate Studies (SGS) is inviting all graduate students in research-stream and professional programs to apply for a role on the 2024-25 Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC), an initiative established by the Dean of SGS, Joshua Barker.

What is the role of this committee?

To provide advice and recommendations to the Dean of SGS on university-wide graduate student matters, including academic programs, student experiences, student support, graduate student professionalization, graduate research, and any other matters that the Dean may bring to the committee for input.

Committee members may also bring forward ideas for new initiatives and/or improvements to current practice in graduate education, research and student experience at the University of Toronto.

The committee meets for one hour on a monthly basis over the academic year. Members are welcome to attend meetings in person at SGS (65 St. George Street), however, there is always a hybrid option provided.

Who can apply?

SGS aims to assemble a committee that represents our vibrant and diverse graduate student community, including students from all three U of T campuses, all four SGS Divisions, and both master’s and doctoral-level programs, as well as students from underrepresented groups.

The deadline to apply is September 23 at 5 p.m.
