	+ The '''GSA Assembly''' consists of representatives of every graduate group at UC Davis, and has fiscal authority over the ["Front Page" Graduate Student Association]. All departments should send a representative to the Assembly. [wiki:davis:"Graduate Groups"] are assigned one Assembly Member per every thirty students, or fraction thereof. + + All meetings occur on the first Wednesday of each month at 6 PM and will be located in the [wiki:davis:"Cabernet Room"] (upstairs in the Silo). + + There will be a new representative orientation before the meeting on October 1^st^ at 5 PM. This orientation covers the structure and role of the GSA, as well as the responsibilities of the Program Representatives. Agendas are usually emailed to representatives one week in advance of the meeting. + + * Membership Info + * 2007-2008 Current List of Representatives + * Number of Representatives per Department based on Spring Enrollment + * Assembly Representative Registration Form + + = Assembly Representative Responsibilities = + + Since the GSA is a system of representation, it is crucial that the Program Representatives maintain constant contact with the graduate students they represent, and that they keep the lines of communication between graduate students and the GSA Assembly active and open. Though a representative's responsibilities are important, they are simple to execute. The following tasks are designed to support you in representing your constituency and to assist you in making the GSA organizationally effective. + + + == 1. Attend GSA Assembly meetings == + + Your department or program receives $10 per representative in attendance at each monthly meeting. In addition, your attendance at a minimum of one (of three) Assembly meetings every quarter (and fulfilling your other constitutional responsibilities) earns a minimum of $1.50 per graduate student in your program. This finances the GSA ["Department Fund"] Program, in which your graduate student group receives a quarterly check. You and your colleagues are free to use these monies to fund post-exam parties, TGIFs, weekend getaways, etc. If you cannot attend a meeting, send a proxy who can represent your group, and you can still earn attendance credit. + + + == 2. Determine and express your department's point of view == + + Use the Assembly meetings to voice concerns, questions, opinions, and requests from the graduate students in your department or program. The monthly Assembly meetings are the key opportunity to learn what's going on at UCD, so that you, in turn, can keep your colleagues abreast of issues affecting, and opportunities available to, all graduate students. + + + == 3. Get involved == + + As a GSA Representative, we strongly encourage you to serve on a GSA or campus committee during the school year, as is stipulated in the GSA By-Laws. The time commitments for committees vary widely, so investigate what interests you and what works for you. GSA committees report their status at Assembly meetings, and copies of committee minutes are requested. Graduate students serving on other committees are asked to report to the Assembly, or Executive Council, important issues or items of business addressed by the committees to which they belong. Other graduate students from your group are also encouraged to serve on committees. The GSA University Service Incentive Program is designed to reward the home programs of graduate students who do participate on committees or in outreach projects, and to provide incentive for more graduate students to become involved with the campus through university service. This participation is often the most rewarding experience that the GSA offers. + + + == 4. Inform your constituency == + + Graduate students in their various departments and programs should organize some forum for the discussion of their concerns, questions, and goals for the improvement of their education and quality of life. This is where you, the Program Representative, have the task of listening to your colleagues so that you can represent them fully at the Assembly meetings. Obviously, you should use the opportunity of such meetings to update your group on what is happening in the GSA, on campus, and UC-wide. + + + == 5. Empower your successor == + + Although you may have not had much assistance in preparing for your role as a GSA Representative, try to make things easier for the next person. Use this Representative Packet to keep accurate and helpful records of your GSA-related activities and pass it on to the next representative. If you're in the Davis area, assist the new representative by introducing them to key people, and by providing them with whatever information you picked up during your term as a representative. + + + Some programs have organized academic student organizations that select their GSA representative. Those programs that have had an organized student group in the past are: + + * Animal Science + * Anthropology + * Art History + * Biomedical Engineering + * Chem Eng./Material Science + * Civil/Env. Engineering + * Comparative Pathology + * Elec./Computer Engineering + * English + * Epidemiology + * Ecology + * French + * Galois Group (Mathematics) + * Genetics + * Hydrological Sciences + * Linquistics + * Microbiology + * Music + * Mol/Cell/Integrative Physiology + * Plant Pathology + * Transportation Tech. + * Viticulture/Enology
