Advisory Board
The Advisory Board ensures the longevity of the Graduate Scholars Society. This includes obtaining funds, maintaining/updating the vision for the Society (as need arises), increasing the visibility of the Graduate Scholars Society on the Virginia Tech campus, monitoring GSS group development, and setting up GSS groups each semester (including establishing ideas for discussion groups, and contacting and preparing potential faculty and/or student leaders).
In addition the Advisory Board is responsible for general promotion of the GSS through campus wide, Graduate School, and departmental venues. The Board is also responsible for providing leadership to all GSS 'stakeholders' comprised of present and previous GSS members, as well as faculty, students, and administrators who have a role in the Graduate Scholars Society.
The terms of service for Advisory Board members is left open with spaces opening up for a new member when one steps down from this role. The Advisory Board includes VT faculty members, graduate students, as well as a representative from the Graduate School.
