Your Graduate Student Organization:

  • Your department likely has a graduate student organization (GSO) that you can join. Your REC may already have a graduate student organization. Your REC GSO leadership should reach out to you but if they do not, please find out when they meet and join in. You may also want to participate in the activities of the GSOs at other local RECs. 
  • If your REC does not have a GSO, you can create your own following these directions from the UF Student Activities and Involvement group. You will need at least 10 members, a faculty or staff advisor, and an approved constitution.
