ELECTION RESULTS FOR 2020-2021

Despite the shadow of the coronavirus pandemic this year, 206 people voted in the GSS elections this year. We are so glad to see graduate students participate in the election of their Senators!

We appreciate everyone’s interest in the GSS, and we hope that everyone continues to be involved in GSS activities. Remember that all GSS General Senate meetings are open, and (once the coronavirus pandemic is over) we will also hold social, advocacy, and professional development events! Check out the GSS Calendar for our upcoming meetings.
