Graduate Linguistics Association
The GLA is a space whereÌýall graduate students at the department (PhD, MA, MS and BAM) can come together. The student interest group consists of the GLA chair and representatives from each of the four programs. Along with this group, the GLA also works with the Graduate Lead Teacher, CRIL Editor, and LingCircle organizer.
Members of the student Interest board act as liaisons between the faculty and the graduate student community. Their responsibilities include attending faculty meetings, conveying issues or suggestions from the graduate community to the faculty, attending GLA meetings to better understand how to support students in the department, and assisting other officers (Lead TA, CRIL editor, LingCircle organizer) as required.Ìý
The GLA chair is responsible for organizing meetings and handling any communication addressed to the GLA.
The GLA meets every other week. Meetings are an avenue for all graduate students to come together and share their ideas with the representatives. Representatives in turn get input and share information of interest to the community (e.g. changes to program structure, etc.)
The GLA chair is elected in January of every year and serves a term until December. The program representatives and LingCircle organizer are elected in August and serve a term until May of the following year.Ìý
All graduate students are encouraged to attend GLA meetings. Meetings foster community and provide opportunities for students from different subfields or programs to meet.Ìý
