![]() Welcome to the Campus Affairs webpage of the Graduate Assembly! We look forward to your ideas, your participation, and your enthusiasm in making our mission to improve and empower the lives of all graduate students on the UC Berkeley campus a success! The Campus Affairs Department of the Graduate Assembly is entrusted with the responsibility of representing the concerns of all graduate students and the GA to the Berkeley campus administration on a number of important issues. First, a great and immediate way to get involved with Campus Affairs is to serve on one of various faculty-student committees--on issues ranging from student fees to parking and transportation to student health. Participating on a faculty-student committee is an integral and invaluable way for you, the student, to shape important campus policies and to inject the graduate student perspective into relevant campus debates. If interested, please email academics@ga.berkeley.edu for more information or to specify an area that you are especially interested in influencing through your service. Second, there are several ways to get involved in Campus Affairs through the work of the Campus Affairs Committee. For instance, you can help evaluate nominations and select the winner of the Faculty Mentorship Award or you can help with research to prepare the Graduate Assembly's position on various important issues affecting Berkeley graduate students. Although the date of our first meeting is yet to be announced, the committee will typically meet in Anthony Hall, the home of the GA across from Barrows Hall, on every fourth Tuesday of the month from 5:30-6:30pm--and refreshments are served! So, if you're interested in joining the Campus Affairs Committee or would like our most up-to-date schedule, please contact cavp@ga.berkeley.edu ASAP. Third, for the innovator and creator in you, you are most welcome to present your own project to Campus Affairs as a means of getting involved! Whether it's a debate about an issue affecting our quality of life or a stimulating lecture on a work of scholarship or intellectual pursuit, we welcome your idea and initiative to organize it under the auspices of Campus Affairs! Perhaps you would like to work in partnership with the RSF to host a grad. social night for graduate students or would like to bring a scholar to Berkeley to deliver a lecture on graduate student mental health in the Pauley Ballroom, the opportunities are endless and we in Campus Affairs look forward to working with you to make your vision a success from which all graduate students may benefit! Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. I look forward to getting to know you all! With best wishes for the coming year, Miguel Daal 2007-8 Campus Affairs Vice-President UC Berkeley Graduate Assembly |
