Student Interest Board

​The Student Interest Board is a GSA group that collectively plans and launches positive initiatives for our graduate students.

The Student Interest Board consists of representatives from the organizations that are granted the "Student Interest Organization" status by the GSA Forum.
​
These groups represent non-academic groups of students and must be registered through SOLE.

How Does My Organization Become a Member of the Student Interest Board?


A graduate organization may petition to join the Student Interest Board. The organization must present to the GSA Vice President of Internal Affairs a petition containing 250 signatures (with graduate student names, University ID numbers, and signatures) of graduate students who support this organization joining the Board. The organization must also be a registered organization at UCLA through the Student Organizations, Leadership, and Engagement (SOLE) department. Then, GSA Forum will vote to approve or reject the proposal at an upcoming GSA Forum meeting. 
Your organization is not eligible if it is already a registered academic council on the GSA Forum. ​
Please reach out to our VP of Internal Affairs  for any questions.

Representation within GSA

Organizations that are on the Student Interest Board receive representation on the GSA Forum, representation on the GSA Elections Committee, and additional amounts of funding allocation through GSA discretionary funds. The Student Interest Board receives 2 votes on the GSA Forum and 2 votes on the GSA Elections Committee. They can apply for up to $3000.00 in Discretionary Funds.

Current Student Interest Organizations

ARMENIAN GRADUATE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION*
BLACK GRADUATE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION
​CHINESE STUDENTS & SCHOLARS ASSOCIATION*
FIRST-GENERATION GRADUATE STUDENTS COUNCIL
​HISPANIC/LATINX GRADUATE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION
INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE STUDENTS ASSOCIATION*
*The organizations maintain their student interest status as this was determined by 250 student signatures. However, as they are not registered through SOLE they are ineligible for funding until they re-register.
