The Graduate Committee discusses issues of interest to the graduate students in the program. The committee is chaired by the DGS.
Each year, graduate students in April elect representatives to the Liaison Committee. Two to four students, with preference for those in their second or third years, are elected members of the Committee. At least two different language tracks must be represented among the members of the Committee. In general, grad students should plan to serve on the GSLC at least once during their second or third years in the program.
GSLC representatives call regular meetings for students to discuss interests, concerns, and proposals for activities. They assist with Recruitment and take the lead on committee-initiated events throughout the year. They attend the portions of faculty meetings not limited to regular rank faculty, and meet at least once per semester with the DGS. The GSLC has an annual budget of $3500 each academic year that does not roll over. This funding may be used at the Committee’s discretion, with a $500 limit on purely social events (no academic component). Some examples of funding use are professional development workshops, writing workshops or study groups, research grants to fellow students, or guest speakers. Funding requests will be evaluated on a rolling basis throughout the school year, with requests submitted to the committee via online form.
These appointments are for a full school year (August-July) until new liaisons are elected in April.
Students in need of resources should email romance.gslc@gmail.com and one of the graduate student liaisons will reach out.
