Council Representatives
UNM departments select their own Council Representatives. GPSA Council Representatives must attend monthly meetings, normally held the last Saturday of each month. In addition to updating their departments on GPSA functions, deadlines and news, GPSA Council Representatives act as the voice of their departments on the GPSA Council. Contact your department’s representative(s) to let them know of any concerns you wish to be brought before the GPSA Council.
As per the GPSA Constitution (Article III, Section 1, A.2) for every 100 enrolled students (or portion of 100) each department or school is entitled to one Representative.
Look up contact information for RDSAs on the Student Activities Center search portal.
