The Internal Committees of the Graduate Student Council serve as an intermediate tier of the GSC’s governance, between the Council’s General Body, which meets monthly, and its Executive Board. The Internal Committees oversee and conduct a range of procedural and administrative operations on behalf of the General Body, while assisting the Executive Officers in discharging their duties.
There are currently five Internal Committees: the Finance Committee, International Committee, Nominations Committee, Social Committee, and Masters’ Advocacy Committee. Each has two Co-Chairs (except for the International Committee and Masters’ Advocacy Committee) and at least three other members elected by and from the ordinary membership of GSC.
