The HKGSO is run by the graduate students and, as such, represents all individuals pursuing graduate study in the department whether they are enrolled full- or part-time and whether they are employed by the department, employed by other agencies on or off campus, or financing their own education. The HKGSO includes all HK graduate students. Board members are elected in December and fulfill various responsibilities within the HKGSO.
