The WGSI GSU is an active course union enrolled in the University of Toronto Graduate Students’ Union (UTGSU). The UTGSU provides health and dental insurance, conference bursaries and other resources. Find more information on their homepage.
Students enrolled in the MA and PhD programs are invited to join the WGSI course union, the WGSGSU. We work to promote community among graduate students and liaise between them and the department. The union also hosts a variety of programs, including a mentor/mentee program for first-year students, a student-run academic journal, and a regular graduate student conference.
You can find us on Instagram (@uoft_wgs_gsu), Twitter (@uoft_wgs_gsu), and Facebook. More information can also be found by contacting the WGS GSU Executive committee (utgsu.wgsgsu@gmail.com).
The GSU and UTGSU are different than CUPE 3902, which represents contract academic workers including Teaching Assistants and Course Instructors.
