Graduate Representatives Council

The Graduate Representatives Council (GRC) brings a unified voice to graduate students and provides support for graduate student issues and concerns in collaboration with the Office of Graduate Studies and Research (OGSR). In addition, the Dean of OGSR, Dr. Charles De Leone, may seek advice from the GRC regarding graduate student issues that would benefit from the council’s feedback to provide student-driven solutions to improve the grudate student experience at CSUSM. Each graduate program is represented by a current (enrolled) graduate or professional student who updates the board on current news and community interest.
