Sociology Graduate Students Association

All matriculated graduate students in the Sociology Program are eligible for voluntary membership in the Sociology Graduate Students Association. In addition to fostering friendships with fellow graduate students, the SGSA elects representatives to several decision-making bodies, including Graduate Student Senate. Also, the SGSA may be asked to send representatives to participate in ad hoc departmental committees. The SGSA often provides input into revisions of sociology graduate program rules, department policies and procedures, faculty hiring decisions, and graduate student funding policy.

SGSA maintains a constitution and an elected slate of officers consisting of a president, vice president, secretary, and representative of the incoming student cohort.
