Understanding your duties

You are expected to attend all the GSG general meetings, usually held every two weeks. No more than 2 unexcused absences are allowed. To excuse yourself from any meeting, please email the Secretary before the meeting. It is recommended that you send an "Alternate" in your place for meetings that you are missing.
You can find the full schedule of meetings here or add the GSG Calendar to your google calendar. (In your calendar view, type "gsg@mtu.edu" in the Other co-workers Calendar text box, and add the Graduate Council (Google Drive) Calendar that comes up as an option).
You have the right to vote on issues that are brought up for a vote in the meetings. Your Alternates can vote in your stead if they are representing you in a meeting. Members at large and guests cannot vote in the GSG meetings.
It is your responsibility to communicate relevant issues discussed in the GSG meetings with your constituents and to bring the concerns of your constituents to the GSG.
