Dear Students,
The Student Council exists to represent your interests, support your experience as a student, and foster a vibrant, inclusive community. I encourage you to get involved, whether by joining a committee, attending events, or simply sharing your ideas with us. Together, we can make Respect Graduate School a place where everyone feels heard and seen. Looking forward to a successful 2025-2026 year ahead!
Student Council meetings will be held on Teams starting in September. More info to come. We hope you will attend our meetings so we can work together to further our collective goals.
The RGS Convocation will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026 from 7:00PM to 8:00PM to formally open the academic year. This year’s Convocation will center on the Mission and Vision of Respect Graduate School as it moves into its final phase of seeking accreditation from the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). The RGS Self-Study Report will be submitted to MSCHE by August 31, 2026! A visit by the Peer Evaluator Team will take place in November and we will be ready to engage with the Team on our experience, our studies, and our hopes for this institution!
At Convocation, President Suleyman Eris Respect will elaborate on where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we are going with God’s blessing and guidance in sha Allah! It’s an exciting time for us all to be part of the history of RGS. The Deans, Faculty and staff will be present to welcome you. Attend in person or attend online but please realize how momentous this year will be for all of us when RGS hopes to be admitted to the ranks of higher education institutions accredited by MSCHE and recognized by the US Department of Education.
Please feel free to contact me with your own visions and hopes for RGS!
In peace.
