Become a Department Representative!

GLAC is looking for students to represent their departments or programs, so that graduate students can connect to GLAC and the TGS administration and express advocacy ideas and concerns.

Department representatives will bring up issues/concerns in their department or program; disseminate GLAC surveys and announcements to their department or program via email; and they are encouraged to attend quarterly GLAC meetings.

See which departments and programs need representatives here.

To apply or nominate a colleague to be a Department Representative, please fill out this form.

Email glac.drs@gmail.com with any questions.

Fill out our survey on the NLRB Ruling

The Graduate Leadership and Advocacy Council (GLAC) recently met to discuss the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling and its impact on graduate students. We are collecting information from graduate students regarding any thoughts and questions they may have about the implications of the NLRB ruling. Upon obtaining this information, GLAC will disseminate information based on these questions and other aspects of the NLRB ruling.

GLAC's primary mission is to serve as an informational resource and to ensure all graduate students' voices are heard. Your responses to this survey will facilitate this mission. Please fill out this survey to facilitate this mission. Please email us at glac@u.northwestern.edu with any questions.
