The Sacred Heart University Council of Graduate Students (COGS) is looking for students who are interested in serving fellow graduate students. COGS is a student organization established to function as an advocate resource for graduate students at the university.
The primary objective of COGS is to pursue continuous improvement in all aspects of the graduate educational experience. Within the past year, COGS has made great strides in opening channels of communication with the administration in service to both full- and part- time students. COGS is currently looking for new members to continue the work that was started during the past academic year. COGS meets monthly at the convenience of its members.
The Council of Graduate Students is available to all graduate student disciplines and programs to provide financial support and funding for social events, conferences, research, guest lecturers, and many other events throughout the year.
Every year, COGS hosts a number of events open to all graduate students. Free Dinner Nights are held approximately 6-8 times each semester in the faculty lounge at the Fairfield campus. These events are a great social experience to bond and network with other graduate students and professors while enjoying a meal. Each spring, COGS also hosts a semi-formal Dinner Dance which is open to all graduate students and professors, as well as graduate student alumni of the previous two years. This event is an opportunity for graduate students to have a great time with their colleagues and enjoy a delicious dinner, open bar and dancing.
COGS meets once a month in the evening. If interested in joining or attending a meeting please contact the council at COGS@sacredheart.edu
