ANNOUNCEMENTS 

October 24th, 2018 Senate Meeting 


 

We are looking for graduate students to serve as 2018-19 GPSS Liaisons! 


Our GPSS liaisons represent the graduate and professional students on various university 
committees around campus. Serving as a liaison allows you to have a voice on campus as a 
graduate student and play role in some of the policies that will impact students. Your voice 
matters as a graduate student at UW. Have your voice heard and become a GPSS Liaison.  
Applications can be found here! ​https://goo.gl/forms/Pf2IkbQzHCatdwqE2 
Questions? Please reach out to our GPSS University Affairs Director, Stephanie Becnel at 
gpssua@uw.edu​. 

Our Travel Grants committee is still looking for members! 


Travel Grants are one of the most direct (and sought after) ways we support UW graduate 
and professional students, and we need a diverse and thoughtful group to help make 
decisions about how that money is allocated. There will be seven total meetings throughout 
the year, as well as independent time required to review applications. We will be setting our 
first two meetings by ​TOMORROW (10/26)​, so please fill out ​this form​ if you are interested.
