Chaired by the Governmental Relations Director (Sue Peterson), this committee is comprised of campus community interest group representatives - such as the Faculty Senate President, SGA leadership or representatives, a GSC representative, deans from the colleges, and other adminstrative members of the President's Cabinet. They meet weekly in the spring to hear an update of the happenings in the Kansas Legislature and of those items of interest to K-State and higher education.

CES/GSC Working Group
What we are: A working group whose primary objective is to understand all aspects of the relationship between graduate students and the Career and Employment Services office (CES). We hope to streamline any differences that may exist in the structural and environmental relationships between these two groups in order to ensure K-State graduate students receive the best employment services possible at Kansas State University. If you are interested in assisting with this effort, please contact Matthew Sellner ( egsc@ksu.edu )

8020 Committee
This committee meets periodically throughout the academic year to help steer lobbying and general activities to connect K-State to the State and Federal governments. The committee is made up of the Governmental Relations office, representatives from the SGA (the President, Head of the Senate, and the Governmental Relations committee chair), the Classified Senate, and Faculty Senate. Duties mainly consist of attending the meetings and representing the Graduate Student Council and relaying back requests for information or participation. There is a lot of opportunity for networking as they hold meetings with other student leaders in the fall, and commonly make one or two trips to the state legislature in the spring. Trips to the Federal level are taken by the Governmental Relations office but are discussed before hand to establish any particular approaches that should be taken to help Higher Education as a whole and K-State in particular.
