Committees are a vital link between the students and the campus governance. They allow us to have input into the decisions that affect student life, including everything from the journals we have available at the library, to where we eat on campus, to how much we pay in fees.
There are pretty much always openings on campus committees for graduate students. Being on a committee can help you improve life on campus for you and your fellow graduate students. It also allows you to gain valuable experience interacting with the university administration. And best of all, it allows you to show off on your CV how dedicated you are to university service.
Below you'll find the complete list of campus committees. By each listing you'll see the number of open slots currently available to grad students. A zero (0) indicates that no slot is currently available.
If you're interested in applying contact the GSA's Vice Chair: <gsavicechair AT ucdavis DOT edu>.
There are also GSA Committees which occasionally form to work within the Graduate Student Association.
For updates from the grads serving on campus committees, please see the Committee Reports page. If you are sitting on a committee, please leave an update there as well.
