DSC Announcements
The DSC (Doctoral Students’ Council) will hold its Fall Coffee Social on Wednesday, November 10th. Coffee and pastries will be provided from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. in room 5414.
DSC representatives will be receiving their business cards at the upcoming plenary meeting (Friday, October 22, 2004). Please attend to pick up yours.
Aleta Styers, the Co-Chair for Business Management, strongly suggests that DSC representatives request their funds this year as reimbursements not advances. Hold your party, save receipts and flyers/invitations as proof that the event took place, and then submit the original receipts for reimbursement.
Interviews for the Adjunct Project Coordinator(s) will be held on Friday, October 29th beginning at 4:00 p.m. If you applied, you will be specifically assigned a time no later than 6 p.m. on that day for your interview.
Graduate Council (This is not the DSC!)Graduate Council meets on Thursday, October 28 at 3:00 p.m. in room 9206/07. The DSC is attempting to spur student attendance at these meetings by raising awareness of this body, the governing political group at the Graduate Center. Each program elects students to Graduate Council and this term is for two years. There is often confusion about this position as programs hold elections but rarely pass along complete information about the duties involved. The following is stated on the Provost’s web page (http://web.gc.cuny.edu/provost/index.htm) which can be accessed on the “Inside 365” web page:
The Graduate Council is concerned with such matters as curriculum, degree requirements, standards of admission, academic performance, and program governance. Much of the work of Graduate Council is done through its standing committees.
The other Graduate Council meetings for this academic year are on the following days:
December 2
March 3
May 12If you were elected to as your program’s representative to Graduate Council, you should, first of all, mark the dates above in your calendar. Secondly, take a look at the section “GC Governance” on the Provost’s page. This is where you can learn about Graduate Council, its standing committees, by- laws, etc.
