Graduate Student Advisory Council
Are you interested in being a voice on behalf of the graduate student body at UCF between students, faculty, and administration?
The College of Graduate Studies is looking for master’s and doctoral students to participate in the First Graduate Student Advisory Council, launching this fall.
Serving on the council is an opportunity to share experiences; identify and suggest solutions to challenges unique to graduate students, and make recommendations to the College of Graduate Studies to build a welcoming and inclusive graduate community. Students on the council will have direct access to the Dean of the college.
Discussion topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Creating a more inclusive and welcoming graduate community
- Improving graduate student wellness
- Expanding research and scholarship opportunities
- Enhancing graduate student culture on campus
- Improving graduate student/faculty relationships
- Creating competitive stipends/pay for GTA and GRA
Candidates from all disciplines are encouraged to apply online by September 15. Students may be full-time, part-time, online, or in person. Candidates must have a minimum GPA of 3.0. Candidates should not have any violations of UCF’s Golden Rule and should have at least two hours available each month to prepare and meet with the dean of the college, much of this activity will take place online.
Students will be selected from a pool of applicants and are expected to serve an entire academic school year.
