The Council of Graduate Students (COGS) has opened another round of applications for both COGS internal governance committees as well as University Academic Governance Committees. There are a handful of open committee seats, which are wonderful opportunities to get involved at the university!
Students who have represented the graduate student voice on various committees in the past have described these as great opportunities to be involved in university and graduate student governance that contribute to the professional development of graduate students. Many committees cater to specialized interests of students (e.g. curriculum and program approval, university judiciary processes, bikes advisory, etc.)
Service on all COGS committees and most university committees require a 1 year term of service with a few exceptions. Please see the committee applications website for details on open seats, committee descriptions, and links to the online and printable versions of the application: http://cogs.msu.edu/committees/index.html
The deadline for receiving applications is 5:00pm on Thursday, October 1. Please contact the COGS office at cogs@msu.edu with any questions or concerns.
