Graduate Student Caucus

The Global Humanities Graduate Caucus (GHGC) represents all graduate students in the Department of Global Humanities. All our MA students can participate in and be elected to the GHGC, thus shaping their own graduate experience. 

All enrolled graduate students at SFU are also members of the Graduate Student Society (GSS) and can run for the GSS Senate to play an active and supportive role within the GSS. Graduate participation helps ensure the continuing positive impact of the GSS on the experiences of present and future graduate students in Global Humanities.

GSS Caucus Funding

The primary mandate of the GSS is to provide services and advocacy for its members. Every semester, the GSS allocates funds to all active caucuses, who can then put forward initiatives to decide how the funding is used.

Available Funding

Caucus Governance

The basic governance structure for a Caucus should include a set of governing documents (e.g., Constitution or Bylaws), elected officers, and a structure for holding meetings to vote on issues.

Caucus Orientations

The GSS hosts semesterly orientations that are open to all new (and returning) officers. At these sessions, they walk you through best practices, suggest ways to get your students involved, and tell you about the funding opportunities available from the GSS.
