The Graduate Program Council (GPC) is advisory to the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies on all matters relating to the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) . The GPC is comprised of the associate dean or director for graduate studies and one representative of the graduate faculty from each of the graduate programs/locations of the SGS. The Dean meets with the GPC on a monthly basis to discuss issues relating to the Graduate School, graduate students, and graduate faculty. Faculty and students are encouraged to bring any matters appropriate for discussion at the GPC to the attention of the representatives from their graduate program or directly to the Dean.
