What have we been working on?

Core Mandate: To identify key issues affecting graduate student wellbeing and success, and to advocate for policy and procedural changes that are meaningful to graduate students.

The Student Affairs committee largely focuses on projects that aim to create structural change to increase advocacy and support for graduate students at UVic. Recent areas of focus have included lobbying the BC government for the creation of a BC graduate scholarship, advocating for greater transparency from UVic regarding various policies that affect grad students, and the legal status of Research Assistants.
