Welcome to CEOAS!

We are the Graduate Student Committee, our primary function is to serve as a liaison between the faculty/administration and graduate students, but we also do a bunch of other things like fund student travel reimbursements, sell CEOAS merchandise, host social events, and coordinate outreach efforts; all of which you can read more about here on our website!

You may want to check out our incoming Student Survival Guide for tips and tricks on grad student life.
