Council of Graduate Students Delegate & Senator Election Information for 2024-2025

CGS is the official branch of student government that represents every graduate student at the main and satellite campuses. It is our primary purpose to work towards a continual improvement of the graduate student experience at The Ohio State University.

CGS Delegates serve as staunch advocates in the process of crafting university policy-making decisions. Our competitive funding programs and graduate-centered programming and advocacy support the personal and professional development of all graduate students.

CGS provides graduate students with the opportunity to participate in the executive level functions of the University by serving as delegates to the Council. We hope that you will apply to be a delegate to represent your program if this description fits your passions and academic/career goals!

CGS University Senator Application Period: Friday March 8, 3:30 p.m. – Friday March 29, 11:59 p.m.

CGS senators serve on Senate committees such as Senate Fiscal Committee, the Graduate Compensation and Benefits Committee, the Council on Student Affairs, and more. They attend University Senate meetings to listen, speak, and vote on university matters. While elections are held in the Spring of each academic year, terms begin immediately in the Fall, and continue through the Summer of the academic year (unless senators graduate, or otherwise leave their degree program).
