What is GradSEA?
The Graduate Student English Association acts as a link between graduate students and the department faculty by providing graduate student representation on standing faculty committees. If you attend GradSEA meetings, you can talk with your representatives and offer your input for the committees to consider. In the meeting minutes, you also can read about what's going on around the department. We encourage you to e-mail your representatives if you have comments or questions.
