Graduate student organizations (GSO)s are the backbone of UC Merced's vibrant atmosphere. They allow for collaboration among students, create opportunities for professional development, host important campus events, and contribute to diversity, equity and a positive climate on campus. The GSO fund is designed to fund these important campus entities, so they are successful in supporting their mission.
In 2021-2022, we allocated $2,900 to graduate student organizations including: RadioBio, Biophysics Graduate Club, Graduate Pedagogy Association, and Merced Indian Graduate Student Association.
For Fall 2018, we allocated $1,000 to GSOs, and in Fall 2019 we allocated $3,000 to GSOs.
