Advocacy

CGSA Advocacy Committee addresses student concerns and needs in regards to their experience at Northwestern. Our primary focuses are issues of student health, wellness, and equity. We also strive to share the latest updates on Northwestern policy affecting students in a timely manner. We meet with administrators in Northwestern, Feinberg, TGS, and the various graduate programs on the Chicago campus to achieve these goals.
