OMGS

Overview

The Organization of Music Graduate Students (OMGS) was established in the Spring of 2020 to provide a centralized student-led group that functions as an official channel of communication between the graduate student body of the music department of Columbia University and the departmental administration and faculty. The purpose of OMGS is to ensure transparency and effective communication, facilitate suggesting and/or enacting reforms, and encourage interdisciplinarity through social events. In addition to providing a venue for productive collective discussion, OMGS also sponsors student-led working groups to address relevant issues in the department and serves as a means of communication with the SWC-UAW, Columbia’s graduate student union. OMGS officers are elected annually by the graduate student body of the music department. Meetings are held regularly throughout the semester and all currently enrolled graduate students are encouraged to attend and participate.
