Hello All-
As the semester winds down, it is time to elect a GAC president and WGGI reps for the 2008-2009 academic year. Below are descriptions of the committees.
About the GAC: The Graduate Action Committee (GAC) is a representative group of graduate students in the English Department that works to advocate grad student concerns to the faculty and administration of the department. Among its primary goals are representing the concerns of the entire grad student body, promoting intellectual and social interaction between faculty and grad students, organizing talks or workshops, and improving the quality of graduate student life at Princeton. Every graduate student in the department is welcome and encouraged to participate in the GAC at all levels of involvement or to bring their concerns to the attention of WGGI.
The Working Group on Graduate Issues (WGGI) is an elected group of students who meet at several points during the academic year with the chair, DGS and one elected faculty member of the department to represent graduate student concerns. **To clarify: three WGGI student members plus the GAC president(s).**
If you are interested in running for GAC president or WGGI rep, please email me with the position in which your interested by 5:00 PM THIS FRIDAY, MAY 2, so that we can hold elections via email in the near future. And rest assured, to avoid any conflict of interest, Emily Hyde has kindly agreed to be “the election monitor” so when time comes, you’ll be submitting your votes to her.
Stay tuned for more…
Best,
Sarah
