Graduate Student Senate

The Graduate Student Senate (GSS) represents the interests of all graduate and professional students at the University of Tennessee. GSS is the official voice of graduate students and is the organization that administrators turn to when the opinion of the graduate student body is desired. Each graduate and professional program of study has a representative elected by his or her fellow students while the GSS President and Vice President are elected in the annual Student Government Association elections. GSS has representatives on various university-wide committees including the Graduate Council.
