Geology Graduate Student Organization (GGSO)

In 2022, the Geology Graduate Student Organization (GGSO) was established with the noble purpose of enhancing the research and work-life balance experience of graduate students in the Department of Geology at the University of Kansas. The GGSO implements several initiatives to keep its members informed about policies, provide a platform for discussion, help resolve conflicts, and enrich their academic experience with social events. The organization also fosters inter-academic fellowship and encourages professional collaborations among members. Most importantly, the GGSO aims to create a supportive and inclusive environment that prioritizes the mental and physical well-being of all students in the program.
