Grant Supported Events (Intellectual Life Committee)

Intellectual Life Grants are awarded for up to $500 for events that promote and increase awareness of the arts, humanities and other intellectual topics of universal interest. These events include lecture series, faculty research salons, workshops, panel discussions, film screenings, exhibits, presentation in local communities and field trips.

The primary audience for these events is Governors State University students, although the events should be open to all members of the GSU community and the region.

GSU staff and faculty, as well as enrolled GSU students with a faculty collaborator, are invited to apply using the Intellectual Life Grant Application. Events must be promoted as sponsored by the GSU Intellectual Life Committee in addition to any other sponsors.

GSU View (University Newsletters)

GSU View is a newsletter published by the university since 2007 and delivered to GSU students and employees via email.

From August 2007-November 2013, monthly compilations of the newsletter were available on the former GSU website in a blog style format with the latest issue appearing at the top. These monthly compilations were downloaded, converted to PDF, and are part of this collection.

Outlook email files from March 3, 2008 onwards have been converted to PDF format for inclusion in this collection.

The current issue of the GSU View is posted at http://www.govst.edu/gsuview/

Phoenix (Student Newspapers)

Two years after the Innovator's last issue, Governors State University issued a new student newspaper in August 2002. The newspaper was named Phoenix by Robert Wysocki and the first logo (pictured above) was designed by Tom Forys. The newspaper features student reporting, opinions, news, and photos.

In this print inception, the Phoenix was published twenty four times annually. The editors welcomed articles, suggestions, photos, commentary, cartoons, and letters to the editor on issues that concerned students or the GSU community. They reserved the right to edit submissions for clarity, legality, and interest to the GSU readership. All submissions were credited and included the submitter's full name, graduate status, and field of study.

Later iterations of the Phoenix were published weekly by the University Office of Student Life and the student editorial team during the Fall and Spring semesters when classes are in session. No issues were published during academic breaks.

The Phoenix was not published in Spring Semester 2018 and was published intermittently through the Covid shutdown. The Phoenix has rose through the ashes, and as of 2019 is now issued digitally

Research Days (University Events, Conferences, and Workshops)

Research Days is an annual event and an opportunity for GovState students and faculty to showcase their research. Student research may be completed under direct supervision of a faculty member or in collaboration with faculty and peers. At the Research Days conference we recognize, share, and celebrate these collaborative research efforts and the fascinating and innovative scholarship going on every day behind the scenes here at GovState.
