Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year!
We are excited to start our third year as a revived organization and have several plans for the upcoming semester. Two of our main goals include continuing to work on establishing fellowships and scholarships as well as increasing graduate assistant benefits. In addition to these two issues we have many ideas on how the graduate student experience can be improved as well as how graduate students can contribute to the university. We have students involved in transportation and sustainability issues, graduate student housing options, and health care coverage.
If your department does not already have a voting representative (you can check the most current roster here) and you are interested in becoming the representative please contact the GSO for more information. However, even if your department already has a representative ALL graduate students are encouraged to attend meetings and voice their opinions and concerns. The more input we have from individuals the better decisions we can make as an organization.
Mission Statement
“The mission of the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) of Northern Arizona University (NAU) is to represent the interests of graduate students at NAU and to communicate between the graduate student body and the NAU administration.
“The GSO seeks to ensure that the administration understands graduate student concerns and that those concerns are reflected in NAU policies. The GSO also strives to communicate to all NAU graduate students important NAU policies and programs.”
