Grad Life
Here you will find information on housing, Graduate Student Government and other resources across campus that will support you during your time as a graduate student.
Graduate Student Government
The Graduate Student Government (GSG) is the governing body for all graduate students at the University of Maine. Public meetings of the GSG are held every two weeks. The GSG offers a number of services, including grants for travel to present, degree-related expenses, funding for graduate clubs, and social events. It is the mission of the GSG to support both the academic and non-academic activities of the graduate student body.
Check out the GSG’s tips for new students on their campus and local activities page.
