About GPC
The Graduate Professional Council was founded in 1993, when a group of student leaders identified the need for both academic and social interaction between graduate and professional students of all disciplines. With the assistance and support of University administration, these student leaders and their successors have steadily increased graduate student voice throughout the University community.
From the time of its inception, the GPC has been influential in placing graduate student representatives on University-wide committees, supporting the Board of Trustees' decision to appoint two graduate and professional student representatives annually, and facilitating interdisciplinary study and research among Washington University students.
The GPC provides a network of communication through which student leaders share information about school activities, and supports representative student governments. The GPC also plans social opportunities for the graduate and professional community, initiates discussions of graduate and professional student issues through panel discussions and presentations, and brings issues of import to the attention of the University administration.
The GPC's meetings and committees are open to all graduate and professional students of Washington University. We welcome and encourage you to join us! See Get Involved for more details.
