Graduate Student Club

The purpose of the Graduate Student Club is to establish an open dialogue with faculty in order to learn how the changing university atmosphere affects our education and the quality of teaching within our department. To present a forum where graduate students can express ideas or concerns related to their education. To provide graduate students an opportunity to learn about professional as well as academic development in their respective fields. And to provide a social environment where graduate students can enjoy other aspects of graduate life.
