English Graduate Organization

The English Graduate Organization (EGO) is comprised of all graduate students in the department and is governed by a steering committee of elected students. EGO was formed to protect the rights and hear the grievances of all graduate students in English, and has expanded into a more extensive role in enhancing the professional lives of graduate students. EGO elects representatives to two faculty committees and oversees a quarterly survey of the graduate students' course evaluations. It also arranges seminars and readings of various kinds throughout the year.

The Graduate Student Governance Association (GSGA) represents all graduate students in the University (except medicine and law). The English Department is represented by appointees or volunteers from EGO. The GSGA meets bimonthly to discuss changes to policies affecting all graduate students.
