The Department of Sociology houses the Sociology Graduate Students Caucus, to which all sociology graduate students are automatically members.
The aims of the SGSC are:
- To promote a sense of community and facilitate communication amongst graduate students in the Department of Sociology.
- To provide an organizational framework for graduate student activities.
- To offer a means of representation for sociology graduate students with the department and the university community.
The SGSC conducts monthly meetings to keep sociology graduate students informed of relevant issues, important events, and department business. The SGSC serves as a go-between for students and the Department, and is involved in planning social events for graduate students.
Each year in September, the members of the SGSC elect students to sit on various departmental and University committees, and to act as the SGSC Executive. The SGSC Executive is made up of the Chair, Secretary/Treasurer, and one representative each from the Graduate Studies Committee, Social Committee, and Graduate Students Association.
