<p class="xcontentpasted01" 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 $1.2 million by funding graduate student organizations, graduate initiatives, and supporting conference travel through its presentation and attendance
grant programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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>

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://apps.its.fsu.edu/SGAVoting/app/" target="_blank" title="https://apps.its.fsu.edu/SGAVoting/app/">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. </span></span><span style="color:#201F1E"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
