Who We Are GPSS, the Graduate and Professional Student Senate, is the official student government for the more than 9000 graduate and professional students at the University of Washington . GPSS works to improve life for the students it represents. It does this primarily through campus advocacy, legislative lobbying, development of resources, and funding of student programming. The GPSS Senate meets monthly and is made up of two senators from each department and eight diversity senators representing historically underrepresented groups. Senator names and e-mail addresses can be found on our Senate Roster .
All meetings are open to the public and students are encouraged to attend.
Our meeting dates and other important events can be found on the GPSS Calendar . What We Do GPSS operates by the passage of official resolutions. These resolutions are statements of student opinion and remain binding on the organization until a contradictory resolution is passed. You can find current and past resolutions on the Senate Business section of this site. The GPSS Senate is also bound by its constitution and bylaws .
