Thank you to all the students who vote in our online referendum on whether to tie UMGSA fees to the rate of inflation. Over 20% of the graduate student population participated, and the "Yes" side won with 57% of the vote.
This increase in funds will allow us to maintain a high level of support for graduate students at the University.
If you have any questions about the referendum, feel free to contact ushttps://umgsa.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c322a0ec48ff10f8d1e6053e&id=a717e24a33&e=4f569f93a6.
