Government Graduate Student Organization

The Government Graduate Student Organization (GGSO) was organized to support the Government Department faculty and government graduate students. We are a great group of graduate students that meet bi-monthly with the support of a devoted faculty member as an adviser. Last semester we held several social events, a new-student orientation, and also helped to find funding for several students traveling to present at conferences. This semester we will host more new-student orientations and social events for government faculty, staff, and government graduate students. The relationships built between participants of the organization are memorable and irreplaceable.

Our current GGSO officers are:

President:  Aliese McArthur (ammcarth@nmsu.edu)
Vice President:  Catie Ford (catiem@nmsu.edu)
Treasurer:  Yesenia Godoy (norma_g@nmsu.edu)
Secretary:  Jacob Deaven (jdeaven@nmsu.edu)

The Graduate School Council provides up some student support for participation in academic conferences: 50% of expenses, capped at $500. Check out the GSC website at: http://web.nmsu.edu/~wwwgsc/index.html
