AEGS strives to foster community among graduate students and faculty in the department, to prepare graduate students for professional life, and to serve as a representative body to various committees within the English department. AEGS believes that the understanding of one’s discipline and profession is not bounded by class schedules and academic calendars and that commitment to learning and professionalism is not separated from good fellowship and living.
