Graduate Student Association elections
Posted on 5 June 2017
The General Election will be dominating the headlines this week, but don't forget to have your say in about who represents you here at the University as well.
The Graduate Student Associate (GSA) is holding their summer elections from 9am on Monday 5 June to 5pm on Friday 9 June. If you are a postgraduate student, you should receive an email into your University email account with a link to the voting website and information on how to vote. You can also go directly to the website and log in with your student number.
You will be asked to rank the candidate in order of preference, with number one as the person you would most link to win.
By voting in the GSA elections you get a voice in who represents you and your needs to the University. York is one of the few universities in the UK to have a Graduate Student Association, and those who lead the association can make a real difference to graduate student life.
Roles to be elected
President
The main external contact for the GSA, promoting academic and professional development of postgraduates. The voice on University committees.
Vice-President (Wellbeing and Community)
Represents the practical aspects of the student experience, coordinating events, sports, and wellbeing activities and leads support for Graduate Common Rooms (GCRs), College Student Associations, and the GSA's postgraduate working groups.
(Students in Wentworth will also be able to vote in Wentworth GCR Committee elections.)
