GSS Election 2014: Call for Nominations

Posted on by

I am relaying the message from GSS to call for Nominations for its Election 2014. Please email elections@gss.ubc.ca if you wish to nominate yourself or a friend for a position.

Dear graduate students,

The Call for Nominations for the 2014 Graduate Student Society (GSS) Elections is now open and will stay so until January 15th (at noon).

The Graduate Student Society (GSS) is the independent voice of UBC’s graduate students. The GSS represents and advocates on behalf of all UBC graduate students to the University, the Government, and the public and provides academic, professional, social, and recreational services to graduate students. The society also acts as steward of the Thea Koerner House Graduate Student Centre on campus.

The elections are held in order to choose the leadership of the society. The GSS is run by a five-member group of graduate student Executives who serve the graduate student community:

  • The President
  • The Vice-President Academic and External Affairs
  • The Vice-President Services
  • The Vice-President Finance
  • The Vice-President Administration

The GSS also elects two members to the UBC-Vancouver Senate as student representatives. As part of the Senate, these individuals are responsible for all academic-related matters, such as admissions, exam policy, curriculum changes, and awards and scholarships.

We hope that you are interested in running for any of these positions and encourage you to become familiar with their different responsibilities by consulting our website: http://gss.ubc.ca/main/sample-page/gss-elections-2014/

The website also has the nomination form that all prospective candidates must fill out and return to our office (in the Graduate Student Centre on campus, 6371 Crescent Road) by January 15th at noon.

We also encourage you to follow the GSS Elections on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/GSSElections) and on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GSSElections). If you have any questions or would simply like to talk to us about elections, please also feel free to contact us at elections@gss.ubc.ca.

Thank you very much for your time!
