Hello Graduate Students,
Please join us on May 3 at 6:00 p.m. MT for our last general meeting of the semester! We will be introducing our new 2022-2023 officer board and hearing from Dr. Andrew Norton, the new faculty council representative to the Board of Governors. Additionally, we will be hosting an open forum to discuss any comments or concerns from this year, as well as potential Council goals for next year.
Our meeting will be hybrid, so please join us in the ASCSU Senate chambers in Lory Student Center (LSC 204) or online via Zoom. We will have a catered taco bar for all in-person attendees (gluten-free and vegan options available).

Please join us today (Tuesday, April 5) at 6:00 pm MT for our April general meeting and officer elections! We will be discussing changes to the Student Health Insurance Plan and the results of the GSC mask survey before holding elections for the 2022-2023 GSC Officer Team.
As a reminder, we are looking for motivated members to run for office! If you are interested in running for an officer position, please prepare a 2-3 minute introduction that highlights the strengths and interests you’d bring to the role. Positions are open to all graduate students in good standing with the University, and all positions are paid. Vice Presidents receive a total stipend of $1,500 for the year, and Presidents receive a total stipend of $2,250.
Furthermore, we’d like to highlight an opportunity to provide feedback on University Communications. The Division of University Marketing and Communications is inviting current CSU employees and students to share their experience with internal communications by participating in a survey or discussion group this spring. This feedback will inform several significant changes in the coming year, as the division rolls out a new university email system and implements elements of the Courageous Strategic Transformation, including the reimagining of CSU’s brand. Visit the internal communications web page to take the anonymous survey or to sign up for a discussion group. Participants will have the option to be entered in a raffle to win a variety of CSU swag prizes.
Please join us tonight in the ASCSU Senate chambers in Lory Student Center (LSC 204) or online via Zoom. Pizza (gluten-free and vegan options available) will be provided for all in-person attendees, while supplies last!
