Graduate Advisory Council

UAA's Graduate Advisory Council advises the Dean of the Graduate School on policy matters and promotes general advocacy of programs throughout the university community. The council reviews, determines, and recommends policies for graduate programs. Its members consist of graduate chairs and directors, plus a graduate student representative. Meetings are generally held on the third Friday of each month during the academic year, with some exceptions. If you would like to be appointed as a student representative, please contact one of the members listed below.
