The GPSC had a successful year promoting and implementing GO, Student Showcase, GSA week, Phoenix Showcase, and renovating the GPSC web page. In addition to these events, GPSC instituted a T.A. Taskforce to evaluate the teaching conditions of graduate students across disciplines. Data were collected by an online questionnaire. Results of the taskforce were written in report-form and presented to the President's Campus Advisory Council in May, 2000. Recommendations for improving working conditions of graduate students were offered. Other steps forward included the appointment of an additional graduate student to serve on the President's Campus Advisory Council (i.e. two seats), and the establishment of graduate student seats on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, SPBAC, and the Alumni Board. Technological advancements included the first ever electronic publishing of the GradCat, the graduate student newsletter, and an online forum for current student issues.
