Purpose

The Computer Science Graduate Students' Council at Portland State University is an organization for the graduate students in the Computer Science Department. Its primary function is to promote a feeling of community among the graduate students by organizing and sponsoring social and educational events. It also serves as a bridge between Computer Science faculty and the graduate student body. All Computer Science graduate students are members of the Graduate Council. The degree of participation is an individual decision, and can range from never attending a single Graduate Council event to suggesting new events and even helping to coordinate them.
