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:

(1) You meet and socialize with fellow grads from other departments.

(2) You learn about current issues at McGill and beyond.

(3) You could submit motions for a vote

(4) You could join or create a committee focused on certain issue (e.g. sustainability, tuition fees, community outreach .. to name a few)

(5) Networking: other grads you meet could be your future colleagues!

(6) Enjoy FREE  hot dinner served at each meeting.

(7) Get a FREE personalized CS hoodie if you attend and vote in >= 2 Council and/or General meetings, as a token of appreciation for you taking the time to represent your fellow CS grads and vote on important issues.
