Graduate Student Council


Welcome to the Graduate Student Council Page!


Congratulations on your admission to Gonzaga University!

As graduate students, we are unique in that most of us do not live on campus, some of us have families, and many of us are in distance-learning programs.  So what resources really matter to us?

The following are what we have found to be the most important resources (click on the resource title to go directly to its page):

What are we about?

The Graduate Student Council is your organization! We are an association of students who advise the Vice President of Student Life and Academic Vice President on graduate education matters. GSC acts as the conduit for voicing student concerns and suggests improvement to graduate education and graduate student life at Gonzaga University. GSC grants and administers partial funding requests for registered graduate students from all departments who intend to present at national and international conferences and seminars. Potential presenters are required to submit a proposal to GSC and be willing to make a presentation and/or discuss the conference with the Gonzaga community upon their return.

GSC partially funds some graduate orientations and hosts several networking socials throughout the year for all Gonzaga University graduate students. GSA also coordinates the Annual Graduate Student Gala in April.

GSC’s goal is to help each graduate student at GU be successful in their endeavors and be a vibrant, contributing part of the Gonzaga University academic community. How can we help you succeed?

If you need more information about the GSC, our events, when we meet, or would like to request funds from the GSC please visit:  http://gonzaga.edu/community
