BILL HISTORY

The United Government of Graduate Students (UGGS) and the Graduate Student Association at Colorado (GSAC) (both organizations are currently referred to as UGGS) act not only as the Graduate School local government but also as an organization for all graduate and professional students at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Through UGGS’ many events it harbors a positive environment for graduate and professional students to learn and grow as a community. Several events that occurred last session; including the UGGS’ welcome picnic, the UGGS’ orientation (the only orientation available to many incoming graduate and professional students since is no formal orientation is offered by the graduate school itself), the UGGS’ information fair for new students, the meet the regent candidate forum and many more, have brought national acclaim to UGGS and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Namely, the National Association for Graduate and Professional Students (NAGPS) has honored UGGS for these events and others by awarding UGGS the NAGPS Award for Outstanding GSA for Legislative and Advocacy Programs. The UCSU wishes to congratulate UGGS for its efforts by supporting UGGS’ Graduate Student Appreciation Week (GSAW) from April 2, 2007 through April 6, 2007.
