Graduate Student Senate Update - A Message from GSS President, Amanda Taylor

GSS was formed for the following purpose: 

“Under the authority of the Bowling Green State University Charter, Article II, Section B, as established by the Board of Trustees, we the graduate students of Bowling Green State University, in order to represent our own needs, interests, and opinions as students, to ensure our rights as members of the university community, and to promote unity, cooperation, and goodwill among all students, do ordain and establish this constitution for the Bowling Green State University Graduate Student Senate.” – from the GSS Constitution and Bylaws 

For the Fall 2022-23 academic year, our focus will be community convergence. Our priority is to seek out ways graduate students can come together with BGSU administration, faculty, undergraduates, and the greater Bowling Green and Wood County community. We have identified the pathway to community convergence through the following: 

1. Active listening 

2. Diversity, equity, and inclusion 

3. Community involvement 

As the President of GSS, I – as well as the GSS Senate Executive Committee Leaders and Senators - committed to amplifying the collective voice of graduate students. I’m excited for a wonderful year of championing the voices of the approximately 3,200 graduate students across BGSU!  

The Academic Agenda is published every Friday by the Graduate College during the Fall and Spring semester. Submit events and announcements to gradcol@bgsu.edu. Submissions are due Wednesday at 5:00pm the week before the event.

From the Desk of Dean Waldron

Earlier this week we recognized the autumn equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The equinox marks the change from summer to autumn. The equinox also marks balance in that there are approximately 12 hours of the day and 12 hours of the night.

Change and balance. Balance and change.

Seemingly contradictory, both are needed. Week 6 of the semester is often a good time to pay attention to balance in your life.

  • Do you know when you work best? If you are an early-bird, try to read or write in the morning.
  • Do you know how you work best? Perhaps it is the Pomodoro Technique, working 25 minutes and taking a 15-minute break.
  • Take one day when you don’t work. That’s right – use one day to rest and recover.
  • Move your body or spend time outdoors.
  • Connect and strengthen relationships with friends and family.
  • Be creative – doodle, write limericks, knit, sing, play an instrument, or anything else.

Check out Campus Resources to Thrive.

The Graduate Student Senate is here to support you. Reach out to them and have your voice heard.

The Academic Agenda is published every Friday by the Graduate College during the Fall and Spring semester. Submit events and announcements to gradcol@bgsu.edu. Submissions are due Wednesday at 5:00pm the week before the event.
