CGS Special 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 legislation, statements, and more that pertain to The Council's advocacy for graduate students at The Ohio State. 

Please use the tabs on the left or at the top of the page in the navigation bar to navigate to special topics such as Graduate Compensation & Benefits, Graduate Diversity & Equity, Graduate Family & Dependent Issues, and Graduate Mental & Physical Health. Each page contains a right sidebar with linked documents pertaining to each special topic that CGS has authored. 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, Executive Committee) to be assisted in locating specific materials.
