PG Forum
The Graduate Students’ Association appreciate that it is vital that the University is aware of the views and concerns of postgraduate students’ and that we connect with our membership to ensure we accurately represent these views at university level. In March 2010, we held the University’s first York Postgraduate Forum in collaboration with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor. This successful event and the forums that have followed, have guided our activities and informed our discussions on the future strategy of the GSA, while allowing us to reinforce our role at the university and giving postgraduates the opportunity to voice their opinion.
The GSA will hold a forum once every term. At each forum there will be members of senior management, the GSA officers and representatives from various university bodies such as the Research Development Team,Careers Service, Library, Academic Support Office, Campus and Commercial Services, International Office, YUSU and the Graduate Schools Office. Thus, the forum porvides a great opportunity for postgraduates to discuss matters of concern to those who can take these matters further, with the hope of making changes where possible.
The next forum will be on the 21st November, at 5.15pm, in Café Barista, Alcuin College . The Director of External Relations of the University, Joan Concannon will chair the event and dicussions will be co-facilitated by members of staff from a variety of university and support service. All postgraduates are welcome to attend. To confirm that you intend to attend the forum please register
