Hello! My name is Ramsess Quezada and I am the currently the Senator for the Chemistry Graduate Students at UW. The Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) is an organization that works to advocate for the betterment of all students on campus. I have been in this position for two years now and I have enjoyed being involved in such a diverse student body. I have been able to discuss topics ranging from graduate student health care, graduate student social life, to budgets effecting student life on campus.

As your senator, I am responsible for advocating for our needs as chemistry graduate students at Senate meetings. There we discuss ways in which the senate can communicate with the university to make decisions which would improve the life of graduate and professional students on campus. I am here to help in anyway I can, so please feel free to reach out with anything you may need.

We are currently one senator short since our last senator moved to Europe for a grand opportunity! If you are interested in being a Senator and have questions, please feel free to reach out.

If you are interested in GPSS, more information can be found at their website: http://depts.washington.edu/gpss/

Or you can reach out to me directly by email: rjquez@uw.edu

Some information about myself, I am originally from Los Angeles and went to undergrad in the Bay Area. I came directly to UW from undergrad and started doing research in Dr. David Ginger’s Lab. I love to run and swim. I am currently obsessed with sci-fi books, movies, and TV shows. I am reading Dune and I highly recommend it, I also recently watch 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time and loved it.
