We are excited to announce a new 2025-2026 Executive Team for the CSGSA:

• President: Evelien Riddell
• Vice-President: Bihui Jin
• Treasurer: Zhaoyi Ge
• GSA Councillor: Olha Wloch

The CSGSA nomination and election period ran from July 20, 2025 to July 30, 2025. We want to thank all the candidates for their interest and contribution. Your willingness to serve makes a difference.

We have proposed a new CSGSA Constitution to comply with the UW GSA's new requirements for a departmental GSA (dGSA).

Members are invited to vote online (February 6–11, 2025) or in-person (February 11, 2025 at 10:30-11:00 a.m. in DC 2564) to finalize these changes.

Thank you for your time and engagement.

The CS GSA is committed to enhancing the social and academic experience of CS graduate students. We invite you to share any areas where you'd like support or additional information. Stay tuned for our upcoming information sessions!

We are back!

The CS GSA webpage has been updated for Fall 2024 with new board members, events, and news items. Keep an eye out for more updates and events throughout the term!

CS-GSA elections are coming this November. This is a great opportunity to get involved in your graduate student community. Nominations are open for all positions, except the president.

To apply, please send a paragraph long personal statement to csgsa@uwaterloo.ca by November 10.

Good afternoon! We wanted to share some exciting news. The UWGSA has renegotiated our GRT fees, and have introduced three new refunds. If you are (1) living outside of Waterloo due to an event such as COVID-19, (2) a research-based student who has finished all courses, or (3) a course-work based student with a part time workload, you may be eligible.

For a full list of refunds, you can visit: https://gsauw.ca/services/upass/

Well, it's that time of year again. The beginning of the fall term, and the start of a new academic year. We wanted to take this moment to welcome back all returning students, and to give a warm welcome to all new CS grad students!

We have compiled a list of informational and financial resources available at the University.
