The Society of Graduate Students (SOGS), the representative body of about 5000 graduate students across more than 60 departments at Western University. They represent a dedicated and diverse student body, and are committed to the well-being of our membership. The graduate students from the Faculty of Music have 4 representatives that sit on the governing council. They are the voice of the faculty at the monthly meetings.

The Society is directed by the Executive members, should you have any concerns, feel free to direct questions to the appropriate member. The Society also has an extensive committee listing.
