[GSAUCR] Be an Officer for GSA in 2009-10

[President GSAUCR]

Fellow Graduate Students,

I wanted to let you all know about a number of open officer positions here
at the Graduate Student Association for the upcoming school year. The GSA
really is afforded some very important opportunities to represent graduate
student interests to the administration at all levels and provides oversight
for key services for graduate students and the campus as a whole. In
addition to being given the opportunity to change things on campus, all of
the positions include a monthly stipend. These positions are filled by an
appointment process, and more information about the positions processes can
be found below. Applications for all of the positions will be accepted for
the next two weeks, with a deadline of 5pm on Friday March 29th to be
considered in this round of appointments. However all positions will remain
open until filled, so if you miss the deadline please contact GSA as
applications may be welcomed at some later date.  I would strongly encourage
each you to consider applying.


Open Positions:

Several Academic Affairs Officers, one for each college (that is, one each
for CNAS, CHASS, BCOE, Division of Biomedical Sciences, School of Education,
School of Management and one for International Students Affairs): These
officers act as a liaison between the Deans of the respective colleges or
schools and the GSA. The International Students Affairs Officers acts as a
liaison between that constituency, and the various organizations/groups of
relevance, and the GSA. All of the Academic Affairs officers also serve on
the Executive Board of the GSA. (Appointments run during the academic year
and stipend vary with the size of the group represented but run from $50-100
per month.)

Conference Travel Grant Coordinator: Oversees our Conference Travel Grant
Program, including some processing of applications, oversight of the
Conference Travel Grant Committee and educating graduate students about how
the program works. (Note this position starts in July and runs for 13
months, with a monthly stipend of $300 per month.)

Secretary Web/Master: Takes minutes at both executive council and general
council meetings in addition to maintaining the GSA website and providing
other technology support services. (Appointment runs during academic year
with a monthly stipend of $240.)

Legislative Liaison: Primarily serves to represent graduate student
interests to the state officials that create the state budget from which UCR
receives its funding. The Legislative Liaison serves on the Board of
Directors of the UC Student Association and must work closely with the
representatives of other student organizations. This position involves some
travel, mostly to the monthly UCSA Board Meetings. This position also serves
on the Executive Board of the GSA. (Appointment runs during the academic
year with a monthly stipend of $100.)

Campus Organizing Director: Works to coordinate the GSA’s involvement with
UC Student Association and works to promote their goals and priorities on
the campus. The Campus Organizing Director serves on the Board of Directors
of the UC Student Association and must work closely with the representatives
of other student organizations. This position involves some travel, mostly
to the monthly UCSA Board Meetings. This position also serves on the
Executive Board of the GSA. (Appointment runs during the academic year with
a monthly stipend of $100.)



Application Process:

To apply please submit a brief statement of interest and qualifications (one
or two paragraphs) along with your CV to gsaucr at ucr.edu. Applications will
be accepted for two weeks, until 5 pm on Friday March 29th. Interviews with
the executive board will be scheduled based on availability over the
following week or so. As noted above, start date varies by position.

Again, I would strongly encourage each of you to consider applying.

Sincerely,

Gary Coyne
