| Form your own Graduate Student
Organization
Forming your own Graduate Student Organization (GSO) can provide
a significant advantage to your graduate program:
It enhances communication and cultivates a sense of community
within your department.
GSOs can officially represent graduate students before their
faculty. Some departments, for example, allow GSO participants to
represent graduate students’ interests in faculty meetings.
Having your own GSO raises the profile of your department in the
academy and the world at large, which in turn may improve your
employment opportunities.
It will enable your organization to apply for Student Activity
funds to defray the costs of travel to conferences, professional
journals, and refreshments for “Meet ‘n Greet,” student colloquia,
and “End of the Year” events.
Forming your own Graduate Student Organization (GSO) is easier
than you might think!
All instructions and procedures are provided by the Center for
Student Involvement on their website:

We are confident you will see the importance of building a
stronger graduate student community here at USF. The GPSC is here to
provide support and answer any questions you may have.
