Our Mission Statement
The Graduate Student Council (GSC) is the governing Graduate Student Body consisting of representatives from all degree-granting programs in the Graduate College.
Addressing the specific needs of graduate students, GSC organizes academic seminars and workshops, supports students with travel and project awards, unites them with meaningful social and cultural events, and represents the UIC graduate student body in the many different organizations and events.
Stay Tuned for GSC Meetings for 2025-2026 Dates
The Graduate Student Council will convene for monthly general body meetings each month from 5 pm-7 pm beginning in September with Executive Committee meetings to immediately follow.
