The GSAÉD provides a variety of services to its graduate student membership and supports many different campaigns on a local, provincial, and national level. To ensure effective services and modes of support, the Association relies on the hard work and dedication of our many volunteers. To recognize our volunteers and support the time and effort they put in, the GSAÉD has launched the volunteer page! Here you will be able to find information on the different committees of the Association, contact information, our Co-Curricular Record account and how to sign up, and upcoming volunteer appreciation events! Our Committees The GSAÉD committees are the foundation of the range of work that the association is able to accomplish each year. Each committee has its own roles and responsibilities and function as a team to set meeting times and action plans for Association projects. The number of hours that volunteers are expected to complete is based on the needs of the committee and the availability of the volunteer. The GSAÉD is always looking for new volunteers! If you are interested in any of the following committees, please contact the appropriate commissioner.
