The Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC) serves as an advisory body to the Interim Department Chair, Yafeng Yin, and Associate Department Chair of Graduate Programs Professor Krista Wigginton, in matters of student climate, and serves as an information resource to current students. It is made up of graduate students representing our different sub-disciplines within CEE. Please feel free to contact the GSAC at CEE-GSAC-group@umich.edu.

GSAC is on Slack! Join umcee.slack.com using your umich email to get updates on recent activities and chat with your fellow graduate students! This is an entirely student-focused group meant for graduate students and postdocs. Contact the GSAC at CEE-GSAC-group@umich.edu for any questions or connection issues.

Add the GSAC Events calendar to your Google calendar to stay up to date on upcoming GSAC events!
