Graduate Student Advisory Board

• Purpose and Structure

  Purpose 

  GSAB members will do the following:

  • Meet with Associate Dean of Research and Graduate Studies at least once a semester
  • Actively serve on a GSAB subcommittee (e.g., annual Research Forum)
  • Help organize and participate in College of Education recruitment events
  • Serve as ambassadors to the college especially to prospective students
  • Help organize education speakers from within and outside the College of Education
  • Organize a mentoring program for new students
  • Help develop a system to keep alumni connected to the College of Education
  • Identify new initiates needed to recruit new students and to engage current students in the College of Education

  Structure

  The Graduate Student Advisory Board seeks to have one representative from each program that has 10 or more students, but every effort will be made to have representation from each department.

  Once new members are appointment each academic year, the board will select a chair and co-chairs to lead each of the subcommittees.

• Membership and Term

  Membership

  The GSAB will consist of a diverse group of CoE majors, each bringing a unique perspective to the board. All GSAB members must be currently enrolled students. If you are interested in serving on the GSAB, please contact us at coegsab@clemson.edu.

  GSAB members must serve a two-year term and may serve for up to three years. Terms will run from April to April of following year.

  Graduate Student Academic Writing Committee

  The academic writing committee seeks to promote student writing through hosting collaborative writing times, fostering writing accountability partnerships, and providing professional development opportunities to improve writing skills. 

   

  Graduate Student Conference Committee

  The conference committee seeks to highlight the work of students through an annual College of Education sponsored graduate student conference. The chairs drive the planning and organization of the event throughout the academic year, including summer semesters.

   

  Graduate Student Peer Mentoring Committee

  The peer mentoring committee seeks to connect experienced graduate students and new graduate students within their programs. Mentors will connect with mentees by email, text, and occasional in-person and/or zoom meetings to offer advice, assist them in navigating the logistics of on-campus and/or virtual platforms and offer ongoing support. 

   

  Graduate Student Outreach Committee

  The outreach committee communicates with departments within Clemson as well as other businesses to plan, organize, and execute events. The events are created based on the interests of the members. The events are intended for members of the organization to come together and get to know each other better. Proper care, planning, and organization go into the creation of each event, and there are a minimum of two events per semester.
