EVERY WEEK !!!

So, what IS Executive Council ?

The Executive Council is a committee of around 10 graduate students who are elected by their peers. EC members represent the graduate student body on various issues of concern to grad students. We also coordinate graduate student social, i.e. free food events, coordinate the t-shirt committee, and set policy for the use of the grad student lounge. The EC receives a budget of around $1000 from the Department for grad student activities (to which we invite the faculty and staff, of course). Activities this past year included:

Most events feature some variation on the key theme of "free food" . In addition, meetings have been sponsored by the ExecCo to solicit grad student input on the proposed changes to the comprehensive exam system and changes in lounge use policy. The ExecCo passes student input along to the graduate program administration and works with them to effect changes.

Minutes from the (aperiodic) Executive Council meetings are posted to csd.grad . Anyone who wants to propose an activity, etc. can either contact an EC member and/or send mail to mailto:exec_co@csREMOVE_THIS_PART.umd.edu. The EC can also advise and assist if you have a problem.
