Graduate Student Senate
The Graduate Student Senate (GSS) is the official voice of UNH 研究生uate 学生 body, including UNH Durham, UNH Manchester and UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law. All 研究生uate 学生s have the right and responsibility to participate in this shared governance; by nature of our constitution, all UNH 研究生uate 学生s are members of the GSS. The GSS serves as a bridge between the 研究生uate 学生 body and those who make decisions that impact 研究生uate 学生s. We regularly communicate with administrators including the President Dean, Provost Jones, and the Graduate School Deans.

GSS First Thursdays
📢 Join us for "GSS First Thursdays!"
We'll be hosting a casual mixer for UNH 研究生uate 学生s at a new location on the first Thursday of each month! Details will be announced via the Graduate School newsletter. See you there!
📅 Fall 2024 Meeting Schedule
We are going to start our full GSS meetings when we all come back to school for the Fall 2024 semester, and we expect to have these meetings online via Zoom each month.
The Graduate Student Senate is committed to advocating for 研究生uate 学生 well-being. This academic year, we will work towards solutions on issues surrounding health care, 研究生uate assistantship stipends, and housing. We set our agenda based on 学生 needs, so we need to hear from you!

Our History
The UNH Graduate Student Senate (GSS) was founded in 2011 as the official representative body of UNH 研究生uate 学生s. For several decades prior to the creation of the GSS and its representative structure, the interests of 研究生uate 学生s at UNH were represented by the Graduate Student Organization (GSO).
On April 18, 2011, UNH President Mark Huddleston signed the first copy of the GSS Constitution and 规章制度.
