What is AGS?

Upcoming AGS Events

The Associated Graduate Students (AGS) is an authorized and recognized student government under the University of California at UC Irvine. AGS is governed by a student–body-elected President, Council-elected Vice Presidents, and a Council of Representatives elected by each academic unit, including the professional schools (Medical, Law, and Business). AGS collects $9 per quarter from University-designated graduate students.

AGS Structure

AGS has four subgroups that work to support UC Irvine’s graduate student body:

  • AGS Council – A student-body-elected group of graduate representatives from each school that debates and approves organizational initiatives and long-term goals. Council Representatives are elected by each academic unit’s graduate students to represent their peers.

  • Executive Cabinet – Elected leadership of AGS who oversee its day-to-day operation.

  • Committees – Internal AGS groups composed of members of the Executive Cabinet, Council Representatives, and staff working in a single domain to improve the lives of graduate and professional students.

  • Staff – Students appointed on a part-time basis to assist with day-to-day operations and committee functions.

OUR SERVICES

AGS has created a Conference Grant program to award graduate students small grants of up to $250 to help offset the costs accrued to attend academic conferences. For more information, visit our Conference Grants page.

AGS can help fund projects and events of wide interests that are organized and held by a graduate student club, group, or organization. For more information, visit our Project Funds page.
