学生自治会役員選挙2020立候補者募集中 / GraSPP Student Council Election 2020 (New Members are WANTED)
As outgoing GraSPP SC, we were able to conduct several activities such as making of exclusive GraSPP hoodies, cleanup drive of the student shared spaces (i.e. student lounge, study areas, computer room, pantry, discussion spaces, and locker room), short trip to Yokohama, Annual Quiz Night, and Campus Tour for new students. We have also liaised on some important issues raised by GraSPP students such as the unauthorized usage of discussion spaces, maintenance of cleanliness and orderliness of shared spaces, and just recently concerns about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on GraSPP classes. In the past, other SC activities include a joint seminar with UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, which was unfortunately cancelled for this year.
