Become a CS representative during PGSS Council and General:
McGill’s Post-Graduate Students’ Society holds monthly Council meetings and a few General Assembly meetings throughout the year, during which a variety of issues are debated and voted upon. As a CS grad (Master, PhD or Postdoc student) you can be a CS representative in these meetings and vote on behalf of your fellow CS grads.
It’s a rewarding experience to attend and participate in these meetings for many reasons:
You meet and socialize with fellow grads from other departments. You learn about current issues at McGill and beyond. You could submit motions for a vote. You could join or create a committee focused on certain issues (e.g. sustainability, tuition fees, community outreach, etc.). Networking: other grads you meet could be your future colleagues! Enjoy FREE hot dinner served at each meeting.
