SGA Congress of Graduate Students gives voice to international students on FSU’s campus
In the heart of Florida State University’s campus, a vibrant melting pot of cultures thrives within the Congress of Graduate Students (COGS). COGS, which includes representatives from nine countries this year, serves as a crucial platform where international students can advocate for their needs, celebrate their heritage, and shape their academic journey.
Part of the Student Government Association framework, COGS is the official representative body for post-baccalaureate, special, masters, specialist, professional and doctoral students at FSU. Currently, international students make up 16% of the graduate student body on FSU’s campus and 26% of COGS’ current representatives.
“With international students being such a large and impactful part of FSU’s graduate population, it is essential that international students feel like their governing bodies care about their views and actively seek them out,” said Jack Rowan, speaker of the 33rd Congress of Graduate Students and a student in the College of Law. “[COGS] has a proud history of being a place where international graduate students can be heard and serve as leaders for the Congress and the Graduate Student Body.”
