Welcome

On behalf of the GSS, we want to welcome you to the GSS website. Here you will find information on how our organization serves the needs of graduate students at UConn. The GSS serves four important functions.

  1. It is the chief conduit for information about and advocacy to the wider UConn community through the University Senate system.
  2. The Senate provides resources for graduate Tier II organizations, as well as a common place for these organizations to gather and discuss the goals of the graduate community.
  3. Through our emergency loan fund, GSS provides financial resources to individual graduate students.
  4. Lastly, our organization provides a social focal point for grads through events such as the Graduate Assistant Information Fair, the GSS BBQ, Thanksgiving Dinner, and Grad Student Prom.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us! You’ll want to check this webpage often as is it is frequently updated with important information and links to useful resources.

The next Senate meeting will take place on Wednesday, September 30th from 6:00-8:00pm. It will be hybrid, though Storrs Senators are required to attend in-person.

Our room location is Gentry 131. Below is the link we’ll use for all Senate meetings! All graduate students are welcome!
