The Intergroup Dialogue Project, the Graduate School, and the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning, have created a meaningful process for graduate students and post-doctoral scholars to explore their social identities, to practice communication across difference, and to think together about authentic diversity in academia. Registration: To apply, please fill out this application form by Tuesday, November 15 at 5PM: https://cornell.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_b1t8MgFcPbapMLH |

The Student Advocacy Committee (SAC) of the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly (GPSA) is an available resource for students. The GPSA is the graduate student branch of the shared governance system at Cornell, and the SAC addresses issues that affect the well-being of graduate students, such as mental health, housing, and academic environment. While students are always welcome to reach out to the GPSA via their field representatives, starting this semester, the SAC is also offering a service to students who are involved in a grievance procedure case; upon request, a committee member can accompany the student during proceedings and provide moral support through the process. To clarify, we are simply offering to accompany a student during proceedings for the purpose of moral support, in case they do not have a friend willing to do so. We are NOT advising students with regard to specific actions to take, and will redirect students to appropriate channels if they have questions.
You can email the SAC at [email protected] for more information about the committee, the assembly, and other resources on campus. |
