<p class="xxxxxxxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E">The Congress of Graduate Students (COGS) is looking for students interested in using their voice to represent the graduate student body. <a href="https://sga.fsu.edu/cogs.shtml" target="_blank" title="https://sga.fsu.edu/cogs.shtml">COGS</a> is
the official representative body of graduate students at Florida State University and yearly allocates over $500,000 by funding graduate student organizations, graduate initiatives, and supporting conference travel through its presentation and attendance grant
programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xxxxxxxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xxxxxxxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E">We currently have <b>4 seats </b>open in your college and would love for you to share this opportunity with your graduate students. COGS holds hybrid (Zoom and
in-person) assembly meetings twice a month on Monday evenings beginning at 6:30pm and does events each semester to bring the graduate student community together. It is a wonderful opportunity for a graduate student who wants to get involved and advocate on
behalf of their peers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xxxxxxxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xxxxxxxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E">There are several ways students in your college can pursue representative seats on COGS. Throughout the year, prospective representatives may complete a vacant
seat petition to state their interest in joining. However, we are approaching election season at Florida State, during which students may instead complete a <a href="https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9KtptYMBoBsixqS" target="_blank" title="https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9KtptYMBoBsixqS">Declaration
of Candidacy Form</a> to run for a seat on the congress. Declaration of Candidacy forms are due by September 29th at 4:00pm. Please see the attached calendar for upcoming election dates. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xxxxxxxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="xxxxxxxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in;background:white"><span style="color:#201F1E">I have attached a flyer with our open seats and our prospective representative packet, which includes the vacant seat petition, to be shared with students. Please
let me know if you have any questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
