All graduate students pay or have paid for them the Student Services Fee, which is meant to support co-curricular programs for all students on campus. This is where it goes.
Welcome to the Associated Graduate Students of UC Irvine!
Graduate Student Advocacy
-
On Campus:
We access the administrators; your voices get heard. We advocate for you on issues of housing, parking, campus budgeting, and the various student services on campus.
-
Off Campus:
We are deeply involved with lobbying state and national legislatures. Though we advocate on other issues, we are primarily fighting the state of California’s divestment from public higher education.
We want to bring you out of your labs, offices, and libraries! In addition to hosting an ever-increasing variety of fabulous events, we fund graduate-student-initiated events and projects!
On-Campus Entrepreneurship
Part of the core AGS mission is to become independent of Student Fees funding. Currently, we already draw some independent income as the primary stakeholder in UCI’s Anthill Pub & Grill. We are also in the process of starting a tutoring service that will hire graduate students, and are open to your new on-campus business ideas!
