DEI Statement:
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are pivotal principles that significantly impact the work of the finance committee within the Graduate and Professional Student Congress at the University of Arkansas. Recognizing the diverse backgrounds and financial situations of graduate students, the committee plays a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities. By incorporating these principles, the committee strives to create a financial environment that supports students from all walks of life, promotes fairness in funding allocations, and fosters an inclusive community where every graduate student’s financial concerns are heard and addressed. Having a central DEI office contributes to a more stable, harmonious, and supportive academic experience. It enables our institution to provide specific resources and to be intentional and iterative with policies across the various colleges on campus. Most importantly, it is a display of the university’s dedication to embracing all perspectives and identities for current and prospective stakeholders.
Applying for GPSC Event Funding
As a graduate student, you have the ability to apply for event funding through the Graduate & Professional Student Congress (GPSC). The GPSC is funded by a certain percentage of the student activity fees that are paid for by the student body each semester. There’s currently no limit to the amount or the number of times you may request funding, but bills are subject to the approval of the general body.
If you would like to attend a finance committee meeting, discuss a bill before submission, have any questions about the process below, or need any assistance, please email the GPSC Treasurer gpsctres@uark.edu.
