Program/Service Notes:
The Graduate Student Senate (GSS) is one of the formally recognized governance bodies at UMass Amherst. The GSS serves as the graduate students' representative body, working and communicating with the University administration, the Board of Trustees, and other governance bodies to present the views and advocate for and protect the interests of UMass graduate students. It pursues policies and objectives that serve to advance the social, cultural, material, and academic needs of the graduate community. The Senate's most direct form of communication and influence is through seats on University committees, personnel search committees, and commissions constituted by the University administration, Faculty Senate, or other governance bodies on campus. Graduate student representation on these committees is one of the major avenues of input available to the GSS to influence University policies that affect the graduate student community. The Senate also publishes a graduate student journal, The Voice, which is open to the contributions of all graduate students.
