Postgraduate College Committee Representatives

On September 22 2022, the University Board formally de-recognised the Graduate Students' Union (GSU) due to a number of unresolved issues in its administration. TCD Students' Union organised the election of postgraduate representatives to the following College Committees:

Faculty Convenors

Faculty Convenors are the primary representatives of their respective academic faculties. They sit on their faculty executive committee with heads of schools, and on the College's highest academic decision making body, University Council. They also chair their respective Faculty Assembly, which hears local issues from class reps and school convenors — local issues can be anything. Can't access the necessary course materials? There's a broken seat or water fountain in your building? You're not being supported on placement? Reach out to your Faculty Convenor!

Part Time Officers

Part-time officers (PTOs) sit on Union Forum (UF) alongside the sabbats, faculty convenors, and commission chairs. At UF meetings we report on our work, draft Council motions/discussion items, and resolve any issues with how TCDSU is running. Part-time officers exist so that students with an interest in a particular area can channel that energy into intersectional campaigns, ensuring that the Union is working for everyone who needs it!
