As graduate students enrolled in the Geography Department, we seek to maximize the educational experience of all students. As a society, we aim to explore and implement ways to facilitate a cohesive graduate student community, advocate for the needs and concerns of graduate students, and ensure students have access to quality services to support their academic success.

​

The UVic Geography Graduate Students Society (GGSS) recognizes that there is a significant need to provide for the representation of graduate students and to promote graduate students’ interests within the Geography Department. We also realize that the nature of graduate study requires that a governing body be established that will not unduly burden an individual student who would like to participate and will answer to all the graduate students in the department. We aim to guarantee the fair and responsible representation of all graduate students.
