Get to know your student representatives
Graduate research student representatives are elected and appointed to several committees across the university. They work closely with you to ensure your voice is heard by the University on matters such as:
- academic policies for graduate researchers
- graduate research course structures
- on-campus services and provisions for supporting graduate researchers
- new initiatives for graduate researchers
If you would like to provide feedback to the University, reach out to your representative via their University email address.
