To our graduate and professional colleagues,
Happy end of summer! Summer has been pretty quiet for us as we prepare to kick off a new year of grad and professional student representation this fall. As Executives, we've put together a list of priorities to work on with campus administration and the GPSG Assembly has also been brainstorming projects for the coming year:
- Increasing transparency about grad student stipend compensation and appointment expectations
- Increasing grad student stipends to match the cost of living in Boulder
- Increasing transparency about the "fine print" of grad and professional student benefits and services offered through the university
- Increasing direct communication between campus administration and grad and professional student groups
- Student representation on the CU Board of Regents
- Improving access to DEI educational materials for students
- Increasing parking and transportation safety on campus
- Improving accessibility of campus buildings
As always, we value your feedback! You can contact us any time by emailing the Executives or your Assembly Senator or using our anonymous feedback form.
Upcoming events:
- GPSG meetings
- All GPSG meetings will be scheduled during the first week of classes in August
- New Grad Student Orientation on August 16th
- Grad and Professional student events on the CU Calendar
Opportunities:
- Applications for positions within GPSG and on campus boards and committees are open! Many of these positions are paid and no previous experience is necessary. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and more positions will be added as we get closer to the start of the school year. Position descriptions can be found here and application materials here.

We hope you have a great rest of your summer,
Barra Peak, and Mckenzie Dice
