The mission of the Graduate Student Council (GSC) is to work in cooperation with Texas A&M University administration, faculty, and other relevant entities to insure that the needs of graduate students are understood and considered when campus policies concerning academic excellence, tuition and finance, and research are made.
The GSC, serving as the graduate student government at Texas A&M University, exists to share and discuss information important to all Texas A&M University graduate and professional students and to advocate for their interests in dealing with the University, its constituents, and all other appropriate entities.
Every department
and recognized non-departmental organization is entitled to three representatives,
with only one representative serving as the voting delegate. Our members are expected to attend biweekly meetings held
on the first and third Tuesday of each month. Meetings are open to
all interested parties. Voting, however, is limited to
recognized and eligible delegates.
The GSC strives to represent all graduate and professional students at Texas A&M University and to:
Identify, share, and discuss issues pertinent to graduate and professional students in order to maintain academic freedom, to improve the quality of instruction, to develop and strengthen the University's recruitment and retention programs, to encourage training, fair compensation and benefits, and to ensure that quality student services are made available.
