Affiliate Organizations (AOs) are a vital part of the GSS. We work closely with on- and off-campus graduate student associations and groups throughout the year to foster and strengthen a close-knit graduate student community.
If you are part of a graduate student group on campus, you can apply to become an Affiliate Organization of the GSS. This entitles your group to a number of benefits including access to the GSS Event Fund, which allows AO’s to get a rebate of expenses for events organized for graduate students.
