Important Update:
We know that recent Executive Orders and other Executive Branch actions—particularly those related to federal funding and research activities, and attacks on diversity and immigration—have created confusion and anxiety among graduate students across the University. We will share important updates as we hear them. Please scroll down for resources and up-to-date information, including the Research Office’s Navigating the Federal Transition webpage.
The Graduate Student Government (GSG) serves all students enrolled in graduate programs across the University of Delaware
The GSG consists of a Senate and an Executive Council. The Senate is a legislative body made up of representatives from each eligible graduate program at the University. It hosts various committees which organize events, explore issues facing graduate students, and propose legislation. The GSG Executive Council takes responsibility for organizing meetings and working with university administration to implement legislation passed by the Senate.
Every graduate student is represented in GSG by an elected senator from their academic program, and every graduate student is welcome to participate in all GSG meetings and events. In fact, every graduate student is already a member of GSG!
We encourage you to attend any of our meetings, get involved with planning or advocacy on one of GSG’s committees, or run for election as a senator, officer, or Graduate College Council representative.Â

Public Meetings
For Spring 2025, our Public Meetings will be held on the first Wednesday of every month from 4:30 to 6:00 pm. The meeting will be hybrid (virtual and in the Graduate Student Lounge in Perkins). If you have any questions, please contact GSG President Max Bobbin (mbobbin@udel.edu).Â
