GPSC 2012 General Elections: Call for Candidates!

 

Your Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) is seeking passionate
students for student advocacy as candidates for the 2012-2013 Council.  The
GPSC is the elected representative body for all graduate and professional
students on the UA campus.  If you want to make a positive difference, this
is a fantastic opportunity.

 

The leadership positions of Graduate and Professional Student Body President
and Vice President will be vacant, as are all constituency (aka college) and
at-large representative seats.  You can find information on position
responsibilities, time commitment requirements, benefits, pay, etc. on the
GPSC Elections Webpage (http://gpsc.arizona.edu/elections).

 

Just some of the GPSC accomplishments over the 2011-2012 year include:

 

.         Advocating to decrease the student health insurance prescription
deductible by half and to increase available benefits 

.         Successfully lobbying to stop HB2675: $2,000 minimum tuition bill

professional students
