The Graduate Student Services (GSS) Forum is a half-day event for graduate student services professionals. The GSS Forum helps these professionals develop new skills, learn about policy, and understand changes at the University, while celebrating their hard work and dedication.
The event will feature a presentation on upcoming changes to Graduate Financial Services (GFS) led by Director of Financial Aid Karen Cooper, short presentations on new initiatives and program updates impacting graduate students, a resources refresher, as well as opportunities to connect with colleagues across the university.
Please note that we will be continuing to hold a "Pre-session" that is intended mainly for staff with less than one year's experience in graduate student services to provide context around what will be discussed at the GSS forum.
