To effectively advocate on your behalf, your GSA representatives need accurate, on-the-ground data about the realities of graduate student housing. That’s why we‘re asking you to take a few minutes to complete our brief housing conditions survey here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMjM_9t9N5QmApRj0FSOf5voJNSs0vEr4BWe5tFRtyqZnaKA/viewform
Your responses are completely anonymous and will directly inform the advocacy efforts of our representatives serving on university committees. Tangible data is one of our most powerful tools for making the case to administration that real improvements are needed. This survey is part of our ongoing collaboration with the Blum Campus Housing Coalition, and every response strengthens our collective voice.
