1. Council of Graduate Students
A new committee, Graduate Assistants’ Welfare Committee, was formed to give attention to the great financial burden the low GRA/GTA compensation provides. This committee will focus purely on issues related to graduate stipends, tuition assistance, and ensuring equality on campus.
CGS is hosting two seminars for graduate students within the next month.
Beyond Graduate School – Alumni from Rolla with graduate degrees are discussing career paths that can be taken after graduation.
Financial Management: Life After Graduate School – COER and bank representatives are discussing investment and budgeting opportunities after students leave school.
