The Graduates / Étudiants diplômés !

Abstract

The Graduate Students’ Committee (GSC) has undergone a period of transition recently. I have been acting as co-chair of the committee for just over a year and was elected the graduate student representative for the CHA council at the conference in 2006. The GSC recently had elections for two positions — Jean-François Lozier from the University of Toronto was elected to the other co-chair position and Josh MacFadyen was elected treasurer. We held our general meeting during the CHA conference and it was encouraging to see that the students who took the time to attend were enthusiastic about the work of the committee and even volunteered to work on specific issues, such as increasing francophone involvement and generating financial resources. We hope that with this small, but committed, group, the GSC will gradually grow and be able to discuss and address the issues we face in a more effective manner.
