Administrative history
The Graduate Student Society (GSS) at UBC was formed in 1982 to consolidate the administration of the Graduate Student Association and the Graduate Student Centre. Currently, all students registered in the Faculty of Graduate Studies are members of the GSS. The Society operates from the Thea Koerner Graduate Student Centre, which was donated to the University by Leon Koerner in 1959, in memory of his late wife, and expanded by graduate students in 1969. The Society promotes and protects its members' academic, social, intellectual, cultural, and recreational interests. The GSS is a registered Society under the Society Act of British Columbia and is administratively divided into four departments: Administration, Academic & External Issues, Events & Services, and Finance. An Executive Committee, elected annually by graduate students, is also responsible for the administration of the GSS. Its Council is composed of executive members and graduate students elected from each department of the University.
