History & Past Leaders The Association of Postgraduate Students is the peak student representative organisation for postgraduate students at UQ – simple enough. Founded in 2011 to unite the variety of postgraduate clubs, societies and informal groups exist around UQ, APS exists to encourage a postgraduate community, promote postgraduate wellbeing and provide a voice for postgraduate students at UQ. On Wednesday 18 May 2011, the UQ Association of Postgraduate Students was formed, to provide UQ postgraduate students with a central organisation to administer postgraduate governance issues (appoint representatives to central committees, communicate between postgraduates in different schools, and convey issues and concerns to the university). At midday on Tuesday 7 June 2011, the inaugural Annual General Meeting of the UQ Association of Postgraduate Students was held for the purpose of electing an executive (consisting of Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer) for the association. 2024 Richard Lee President HDR Yash Koppula President Coursework 2023 Saumya Jain Co-President Jeryn Chang Co-President 2022 Will Triste Acting-President Michelle Ocriciano President 2021 Ricky Lee Co-President Betty Lin Co-President 2020 Christian Rizalli President 2019 Selene Cannelli President 2018 Selene Cannelli President 2017 Gustavo Chamusca de Azevedo Co- President Partha Narayan Misha Co- President 2016 Anna Safonova President 2015 Aleen Kajur President 2014 Amanda Acutt Chair 2013 Roberto Fragoso Chair 2012 Michael Bergin Chair

The Association of Postgraduate Students (APS) is the postgraduate department of the UQ Union and is the peak representative body for all postgraduate students at the University of Queensland. We organize social events, networking events, promote your mental health and wellbeing, and advocate for your rights to the Uni... STUDENT SERVICES AND AMENITIES FEE UQ collects from students something called SSAF, a fee to fund non-academic services and amenities to support you while at university. As a significant service provider, APS is allocated a portion of this fee to help provide things like health and wellbeing services, events, and bursaries for postgraduate students. Postgraduate students play a critical role in advancing research and knowledge in their fields, which can have a significant impact on society. Supporting their development and success can help create a pipeline of talented and motivated individuals who can drive innovation and progress in a variety of areas. To ensure SSAF is being used to the optimal benefit of students, the university is required to consult with students through a formal engagement process (i.e. the annual SSAF Survey and an advisory group of democratically elected representatives). APS continues to demonstrate its ability to provide SSAF funded services which provide value for money, quality, probity, and reliability. As always, enhancing student involvement and empowerment is part of our core mission.
