Graduate Student Services (GSS) offers support for graduate and professional students in many different areas, and, in cooperation with various offices at The University of Alabama, seeks to provide information and to assist and support programs aimed at the unique needs of graduate students. GSS coordinates Orientation for New Graduate Students at the beginning of fall semester and supports scheduled workshops and seminars during the school year that are designed to assist students in succeeding and excelling in graduate school. Development of research skills is the focus of an annual graduate students research conference sponsored by Graduate Student Services, the Graduate Student Association (GSA), the African-American Graduate Student Association (AAGSA), Alpha Epsilon Lambda, and the Graduate School. Additionally, GSS publishes information to keep graduate students informed of campus services and activities; in cooperation with the Counseling Center sponsors the support groups on an as-needed basis; advises the GSA and Alpha Epsilon Lambda; and, in support of the Student Affairs department, publishes an annual brochure listing graduate assistantship opportunities available within that department.
The office of Graduate Student Services is located in the Office of the Dean of Students, 231-C Ferguson Center, and can be reached by telephone at (205) 348-6796 or by fax at (205) 348-7610.
