Mike Walsh Elected New Grad Student Trustee

A pioneer in establishing the Graduate Community Initiative, a plan to better address graduate students’ needs, Mike Walsh grad was elected student trustee on Saturday. He is the first graduate student officially elected to the graduate seat on the Board of Trustees, after the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly and Student Assembly delegated one trustee position to undergraduate students, and the other to grad students last year.

Walsh said some of the key issues he will address are building a cohesive community amongst graduate students, housing, transportation and sustainability.
