The following are the current 2022-2023 elected representatives from each constituency unit at the University of Arizona. Together, these representatives and GAs make up the general council of the Graduate and Professional Student Council. Regular general council meetings are held to discuss the different concerns of graduate and professional student populations and coordinate advocacy efforts across campus.
Please join us if you are interested in becoming part of our graduate student advocacy. Our meeting times and location can be found here. These meetings are open to the general student body.
Representatives' contact information can also be found on our directory. If you see a vacant seat in your College, considering running as a representative. A fuller General Council means better advocacy on behalf of all graduate and professional students.
