All meetings of the Doctoral and Graduate Students’ Council are open to the public. To have an item added to the agenda, contact a member of the Executive Committee at least one week before the meeting.

Meetings are presumed to have an agenda consisting of approval of agenda, approval of old minutes, officer and committee reports, and new business.

A record of previous meetings, including their agendas and minutes, are available in the Minutes archive. Agendas for upcoming meetings will be emailed to all Representatives one week before the scheduled meeting date. Agendas will also be made available on the DGSC website. To conserve resources, printed copies will not be provided at the meeting, so please read documents in advance, and bring any you might wish to reference.

The following are the Plenary and Steering Meeting Dates schedule for the current academic year. You can also view and add the plenary meeting schedule on this online calendar here.
