CGS Archives
The Council of Graduate Students is a proactive organization with a longstanding history of impactful legislation and advocacy efforts. We strive to make sure graduate students have the capability to keep themselves up to date on what is happening in the organization both currently, and in the past. This section contains meeting minutes, reports, and legislation drafted, reviewed, and passed by the Council, the Executive Board, and your delegates and respective representatives from the previous decade.
Please use the tabs on the left or at the top of the page in the navigation bar in order to navigate to the web page with the academic year of interest to you. Each page contains a right sidebar with linked documents from that academic year's (AY) CGS activities. To the best of our abilities, we have given accurate/detailed titles and descriptions to help you find what you are looking for!
If you are looking for specific materials not found here, please reach out to the current vice president and secretary (contact info can be found under About Us, Leadership Team) to be assisted in locating specific materials.
