Organization
The GSA’s executive officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Graduate Council Representative) are elected by the USC Graduate Student Body and serve a one-year term beginning on May 1st of each year.
The GSA President recruits and appoints ten liaisons that represent various graduate student interests and special populations. Together, the executive officers and liaisons form a graduate student leadership team known as the GSA Executive Committee. The GSA Executive Committee holds monthly formal meetings which are open to all graduate students who wish to attend.
