Graduate Student Organization officers plan an active year
Officers have been elected for MCG’s Graduate Student Organization, a student-run group that promotes academic support, fellowship, community volunteer opportunities and a discussion forum for all MCG graduate students.
Serving as president in 2006-07 is Brandi Wynne. Other officers are Vice President Kim Rathbun, Secretary Katie Wilson, Treasurer Daniel Mandel and Social Chair Jackie Tilsner. Lakiea Bailey and Sigrid Hart will serve as Student Government Association representatives. Yewei Xing, LaShon Sturgis and Crista Royal will serve as student ambassadors.
The organization advocates for students and serves as a liaison with the administration. Input in the past has helped influence matters including insurance premiums, stipends and electronic thesis submission.
The group also helps new students acclimate to graduate school. Events throughout the year include back-to-school gatherings, social gatherings and participation in fundraisers such as the Border Bash and American Heart Association Heart Walk. A Halloween ball will be a highlight. For meeting schedules, events and other information, visit www.mcg.edu/gradstudies/gso.
