CONCEPT PAPER

GS CORE S.Y. 2014-2015

Graduate Students Core Group

I. Background and Rationale

Students, as the biggest stakeholders in the education sector, are entitled to co-determine
and be informed about the processes, goals, and life in the campus. It is imperative to put
the pressing needs of our students and their welfare into high priority. While the recent
conduct of NCPAG Graduate Students General Assembly helped disseminate information
on the NCPAG SCs plans for the college, it is important to look for potential recourses to
promote participation through putting forth efforts to move the NCPAG SC activities closer
to the students. To promote active participation, The Graduate Students Core Group must
be established.

The GS CORE S.Y. 2014-2015 is a collection of student leaders in each graduate class. The
group will help craft and supply information on the upcoming activities and plans for
graduate students. It will also be a venue for sharing of ideas to create more appropriate
projects for the betterment of the college and the whole NCPAG student population.

II. Objectives

The objectives for this project are the following:
1. TO GATHER MINIMUM OF ONE VOLUNTEER/REPRESENTATIVE per graduate class
constituting the GS CORE.
2. TO PROVIDE PLATFORM for active student participation.
3. TO ENCOURAGE THE GRADUATE STUDENTS to voice out their concerns and
suggestions for the betterment of the college.

III. Timeline
Deadline of submission of Profile Sheets: October 13, 2014
Announcement of GS CORE Members: October 14, 2014
First GS CORE Meeting and giving of Certificates: October 16, 2014

IV. Components

The NCPAG Student Council must be able to coordinate with the following organizations for
the following purposes:
NCPAG Faculty Members for graduate students for information dissemination.
NCPAG Office of the Dean for certification provided as incentive for graduate class
representatives who will participate.

students.
