The GSA consults with the dean and other administrators on proposed changes in graduate school policy, raises concerns expressed by the student body, nominates the student members of all graduate school standing committees, and administers a conference travel fund for graduate students. Representatives to the assembly are elected by students in individual departments and degree programs. Each department or program has at least one student representative, with additional representatives allotted proportionally by size of the student population.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer id="footer"> <div class="wrap clearfix"> <div class="footer-logo"><a href="http://www.yale.edu">Yale</a></div> <p class="copyright"> <a href="https://usability.yale.edu/web-accessibility/accessibility-yale">Accessibility at Yale</a> <i class="fa fa-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i> <a title="Yale Privacy policy" href="https://www.yale.edu/privacy-policy">Privacy policy</a> <br/>Copyright ©2024 Yale University <i class="fa fa-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i> All rights reserved <br/> <a href="mailto:courseleaf@yale.edu">Contact Us</a> </p> <ul class="menu"> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/YaleUniversity"><i class="fa fa-facebook-square"></i><span class="sr-only">Facebook</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.twitter.com/YalePrinter"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i><span class="sr-only">Twitter</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/yale"><i class="fa fa-youtube-play"></i><span class="sr-only">YouTube</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://weibo.com/yaleuniversity"><i class="fa fa-weibo"></i><span class="sr-only">Sina Weibo</span></a></li> <li><a href="http://yaleuniversity.tumblr.com"><i class="fa fa-tumblr-square"></i><span class="sr-only">Tumblr</span></a></li> </ul> </div> </footer> <div id="print-dialog" aria-labelledby="dialog-title" class="screen" role="dialog"> <div class="print-header"> <button onclick="hidePrintDialog(); return false;" aria-controls="#print-dialog"> <span class="sr-only">Close this window</span> </button> <h2 id="dialog-title">Print Options</h2> </div> <div class="print-body"> <ul> <li> <p><a class="option-name" href="#" role="button" onclick="hidePrintDialog();window.print();return false">Send Page to Printer</a></p> <p class="option-desc">Print this page.</p> </li> <li><p><a class="option-name" href="/gsas/school-arts-sciences/graduate-student-assembly-gsa/graduate-student-assembly-gsa.pdf" role="button">Download Page (PDF)</a></p><p class="option-desc">The PDF will include all information unique to this page.</p></li><li><p><a class="option-name" href="https://bulletin.yale.edu/sites/default/files/graduate-2024-2025.pdf" target="_blank">Download 2024-2025 Graduate PDF</a></p></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body> <script async src="https://siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_66356571.js"></script> </html>
