This strategy is designed to address specific issues facing Graduate Assistants within individual colleges and departments in a more focused manner. Additionally, we have extended invitations to department chairs to ensure that department-level administration actively participates in resolving GA-related concerns, in collaboration with graduate school administration.</div><div><br></div><div>The <strong>CAHSS M&amp;C Meeting is scheduled for April 15th</strong>, and we strongly encourage all <strong>GAs from CAHSS Departments</strong> to complete <strong>the <a href="https://forms.gle/W5V74R9XvHG3LpyA6" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">survey</a></strong>.
