Advocacy

Part of the Mission of GPSG is effectively advocating on behalf of Graduate and Professional Students. As such, we have broken down our cabinet positions into different advocacy areas. While these positions are broken down into different teams and focus areas, these positions often overlap and collaborate on issues to drive progress on projects.

Governmental Relations Team: This team is composed of the Director of Local Relations and the Director of State and Federal Relations. This team is focused on working with stakeholders at the local, state, and federal level to ensure that graduate and professional student voices are being heard during policy making decisions.

Student Affairs Team: This team is composed of the Director of Academic Affairs, the Director of Health and Wellness, and the Director of Employment Affairs. This team is focused on ensuring that student concerns at the University level are being met; they work with different administrators on campus to share student concerns and advocate for improved on-campus experiences for graduate and professional students.

Community Building and Engagement Team: This team is composed of the Director of Community Engagement, the Director of Advocacy, and the Director of Environmental Affairs. This team is focused on improving the Carolina community; this involves working with the local communities to build trust in the work that Carolina students do, and ensuring a safe and healthy future for everyone.

Data Assessment and Marketing Team: This team is composed of the Director of Data Collection and Assessment and the Director of Communications. This team is focused on data gathering about student concerns, and ensuring that we properly market and advertise necessary information to students both on- and off-campus.
