This gathering held significance for the college community as it aimed to build a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose among graduate students.

The event served as an open conversation among the student body, showcasing their dedication in creating a positive environment for its constituents. The event’s highlight was the election of officers, as attendees were encouraged to nominate and vote for candidates they believed would best represent their interests.

The appointed officers have an important role in advocating for the needs of the CAS graduate students. They will also act as liaisons between students and college administration, working towards enhancing the graduate student experience.
