The MCW Graduate Student Association (GSA) gives a voice to the students and fosters strong communication between them and administration, as well as with faculty. The GSA provides input and feedback regarding policy development and change, program and curriculum development, and on many institutional committees. Student welfare is its focus, including the opportunity to socialize and interact with one another. If you are a degree seeking graduate student you are a member of the GSA. The representative council is comprised of one program rep from each degree offering program that MCW administers, two faculty advisors, one elected and one assigned, as well as the Director of Enrollment. Elections are held in the spring of each year. The council meets monthly to share institutional committee and program updates, plan events, manage its budget that stems from student fees, and to address any emergent issues. The council welcomes all students to attend.Additionally, graduate students have been given representation on a number of standing committees of both the Faculty Council and the Graduate School.

The Office of Student Affairs is committed to supporting you during the entire reporting process. All reports made will be taken seriously and information will be shared with the appropriate offices for further investigation. We understand the challenges that come when deciding to report, so please do not hesitate to reach out to a member of the Office of Student Affairs for support and guidance. No person will be subject to any adverse action just because the person reports a concern.

The Office of Student Health and Wellness extends an invitation to all MCW students to reach out, seek out resources, and share your needs. Your concerns, requests, questions, and ideas are vital in providing appropriate resources and support. Thank you for your continued interest and actions to improve your personal health and wellbeing.
