DSO Representatives
The Departmental Student Organization (DSO) representatives represent their specific departments. They are in charge of disseminating and collecting information to and from their departments, as well as GPSC, specific to graduate and professional students’ needs, supports, and successes. DSOs are elected in the early fall of each academic year. If they wish to continue their position, they must reapply each year. Also, in order for students to apply for GPSC funding, they must have an assigned DSO for their department.
