Graduate Student Body Council (GSBC)
Graduate Student Body Committee
The Graduate Student Body Committee (GSBC) is a group of elected students who serve as the voice of graduate students on campus. By serving on committees with faculty, we represent student interests and help in decision-making. An important goal of the GSBC is to keep graduate students informed about new policies regarding their thesis work. We gain insight from students about changes they would like to see happen at UMass and work hard to implement these changes. One of our major goals is to further relationships between graduate students on campus, in addition to interprofessional relationships with both the medical and nursing students. The GSBC encourages fellow colleagues in their studies, hosting events for first year students during their core coursework. We offer social events throughout the year to foster friendships and support groups and hold local volunteer activities such as Working for Worcester and Habitat for Humanity. We also partner with the Career and Professional Development group and host events for students that help prepare them for their career path of interest.
GSBC meetings are held on the last Monday of every month at 6 p.m., email us for the Zoom link!
Your voice is important to us! We are here for you, the student body. If you have something that you would like the committee to discuss, e-mail us at GSBC@umassmed.edu and let us know!
