Graduate Student Senate
The Graduate Student Senate (GSS) serves as the primary representative body for graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in the Robert G. Merrick School of Business and the Yale Gordon College of Liberal Arts at the University of Baltimore.
GSS is here to listen to your opinions and voice your concerns to the administration. If you have any problems, concerns or comments please contact any member of the GSS Executive Board. For more information on our goal of supporting the university's graduate students, please read our Mission Statement.

Meet the Candidates:
Aisha Jones
My
name is Aisha Jones and I am a Public Administration graduate student
specializing in Public Policy and Administration.
I am running for GSS because I am a natural born leader
and public servant who would like to create a better higher
educational environment for the graduate student body. I am
a team player who is not only a self motivator, but also approachable,
easy going, honest, loyal and committed. It would be an honor to serve
the graduate student body and I would appreciate the opportunity to be
your voice of UB.

Sports Management. I have experience in clubs and organizations from my
undergraduate studies as well as here at the University of Baltimore.
I look forward to serving the student body while utilizing my
skills and experience for the upcoming school year.
Artanya Mills
To become an informative source and keep the lines of
communication open between the school administration and the graduate student
population is a purpose within itself why I would like to be elected. The most
important factor motivating my candidacy is the state of our education. By
acquiring a senatorial seat on GSS, graduate students can rely on being in the
know.
Chang Liu
As an M.S. Accounting student, I decided to serve on the Graduate Student Senate not only to give back
to students, but to build my skills crunching numbers. As an elected
senator, I'd use my skills throughout the year to help grad students
with travel awards, at events, and working with other elected officers
to making
UB the best it can be.
Kelly Williams
My
name is Kelly Williams and I have served previously on the Graduate
Student Senate; I am going for re-election as serving students is a
passion of mine. I am currently a Negotation & Conflict Management
major in the College of Liberal Arts and will use my previous
experience with GSS to benefit all grad students.
Yiran Zhou
I am a full-time MBA student running for the GSS executive board. It would be an honor to serve the graduate community at UB. As a student representative, I will advocate for a more supportive learning environment, as well as improved services at UB. It will be my priority to listen to student concerns and relay them to the administration. I am ready to join the new GSS team in serving the interests of UB graduate students. Please cast your vote for me. Your participation in the election is greatly appreciated.
Meet the current Senators:
Cari Watts
As
a Negotiation and Conflict Management major, I have enjoyed the
education offered to me by the University of Baltimore and feel that
the Graduate Student Senate has helped to develop my real-world skills
outside of the classroom. I have served more than 3 terms with GSS and
have been voted in for a 4th term where I will continue to voice
graduate student concerns with tenacity to make the UB experience an
even better one.
Marcus Newton
The
University of Baltimore has provided me with a rare and exciting
opportunity to pursue my career goals while serving graduate students
