Grads United is a strong voice for graduate students on Carleton campus. We believe in a campus that is equitable, safe, and accessible to Carleton’s diverse graduate student population.
Graduate students face unique challenges and barriers; tuition fees, student debt, lack of research funding, cuts to library journals, support for international students, and mental health are all areas that we prioritize.
Graduate students are the strongest when working with campus and community partners and with graduate and undergraduate students across the country. Working together, we can reduce health plan costs and seek to make an impact on governments at all levels to increase funding for public post-secondary education.
Grads United prioritizes defending the interests of all students, including racialized and Muslim students, women and LGBTQI+ students and those struggling as a result of tuition fee increases and privatization of education. We will establish community voices within the Graduate Students’ Association for international, Indigenous and marginalized students at Carleton.
Grads United will defend the interests of graduate students at the Board of Governors, Senate, in meetings with Carleton senior management and all levels of government and at GSA Council.
