Graduate Education Advisory Council

The Graduate Education Advisory Council (GEAC) supports Villanova’s graduate students through the Center for Graduate Research and Education (Grad Center). The Council enhances the Grad Center’s work by offering guidance on best practices for supporting graduate students, connecting students with their powerful networks, and growing graduate alumni engagement. Its members also provide advice on strategic initiatives to Villanova’s Assistant Vice Provost for Graduate Research & Education.

Getting Involved

As we work to enhance the graduate student experience, the Grad Center team is eager to collaborate with graduate alumni from all colleges and all graduating years! If you are interested in getting involved as a graduate alum, or would like to explore joining the GEAC, please email the Grad Center.
