UTK Graduate Student Senate

Graduate Student Senate (GSS) is the official voice of graduate and professional students at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

We serve over 6500 students that have chosen to continue their education for the purpose of extending the boundaries of human knowledge and improving the lives of people in the state of Tennessee, the nation, and the world. This body consists of student representatives from each academic department of the University that offers graduate or advanced professional degrees or graduate certificates.
