The Graduate Student Government is the only campus organization sponsored,
staffed and run exclusively by graduate students. If you are a graduate
student, you are automatically a member of the GSG, and your Student Activity
Fee goes directly to the funding of this organization. We are completely
independent of the university administration, and we report only to the
graduate student body. We advocate for graduate students on and off campus,
bringing our concerns to University officials, USM officials, the Board
of Regents, and lawmakers. Click here for
more information on the GSG.
