Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC)

Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC) of the College of Human Sciences at Florida State University serves

• As a communication link between students, faculty and administration;
• As an advocate for graduate students by establishing priorities, presenting ideas, and recommending policies and procedures concerning the College;
• The needs of graduate students through peer mentoring; and
• To promote and facilitate interest in graduate education and scholarly activities.

The organization shall be composed of any interested graduate student from any of the departments and majors in the College of Human Sciences. There are no limitations to membership, no application necessary and termination will only occur if the graduate student is terminated by the College of Human Sciences.
We ask that you provide us your name and contact information so we may keep you informed about GSAC events and opportunities.

GSAC has been instrumental in obtaining a graduate student computer lab, awarding CHS travel grants to students presenting at conferences and awarding CHS dissertation grants (DAP). GSAC is a wonderful way to take advantage of leadership opportunities.
