Welcome to Stony Brook's Graduate Student Organization! The GSO is Stony Brook's graduate student government, and its purpose is to advance graduate student interests, identify and protect the rights of graduate students, provide a forum for public debate, and promote graduate student participation in university affairs. We look forward to working with our members--all student-activity-fee-paying graduate students studying at Stony Brook University--and to helping our university's graduate students have positive intellectual, cultural, and social experiences at Stony Brook.
GSO Members, the fiscal year has come to a close, and we must complete all reimbursements in time for our annual audit.
As such, ALL requests for reimbursements or funding from the GSO MUST be submitted by July 13th to the GSO office. If we receive your application after this date, you WILL NOT be reimbursed!
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at treasurer@sbgso.org .
Regards,
Christopher N. Young
Treasurer, Graduate Student Organization

Dear Stony Brook Graduate Students,
I'm writing to you on behalf of Stony Brook's Graduate Student Organization, the representative student government of graduate students at Stony Brook University. The GSO provides various services to its members—all part- or full-time graduate students who pay a student activity fee. Services include emergency loans, departmental and club allocations, legal and financial advice, and funding for events and for bringing speakers to campus. Of particular note, the GSO provides travel grant funding to all members by way of the Resource Allocation Program, or RAP. RAP now provides up to $275 for graduate students to travel to present professional work related to their particular academic discipline at a conference or a performance.
In order to best take advantage of the GSO's services and resources, IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT EVERY GRADUATE DEPARTMENT HAVE AT LEAST ONE SENATOR SERVING AS A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE GSO SENATE, which meets one Tuesday per month from 6-8 pm. The first GSO senate meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 9th from 6-8 pm in 201 Wang. Future senate meetings are listed at http://www.sbgso.org .
