What is GPSC?
The Graduate and Professional Student Council is a body of graduate and professional student representatives from each graduate and professional degree and certificate program that solicits opinions from graduate and professional students at SIU in order to discuss and take positions on issues such as graduate assistantships, fee increases, grievance procedures, campus safety, and other matters of relevance to graduate students. The GPSC President and Executive Board communicate these concerns and priorities to the campus administration and the Board of Trustees through various councils, committees, and board meetings on which GPSC has representation. The Council also serves as a resource for graduate and professional students regarding various university services.
