Student Announcements
GPSG Virtual Town Hall for Graduate Students – Share Your Feedback
The Graduate and Professional Student Government (GPSG) is hosting a virtual town hall with each college to obtain feedback about recent executive orders. All graduate students are invited to attend this event and voice your feedback. The purpose of these town halls is to hear from you, our constituents, so that we can advocate for your concerns.
Your senators for the College of Engineering will be moderating the event. This event is not being sponsored by the university or your college; instead, it is simply to ensure that your elected officials hear from their constituents.
The event will be held on Teams on March 20th, 2025 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. The link for the town hall is HERE.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns related to this event or graduate student government, please contact your senators. If you are unable to attend the event and would still like to provide feedback, you can fill out this completely anonymous survey.
To stay up to date with the university's response, visit their federal response.
Please also make sure to utilize Counseling and Psychiatric Services (CAPS), which provides free, confidential mental health services for students to address a variety of issues. CAPS offers 24/7 phone support at 303-492-2277.
