Governance

Our regularly scheduled Board of Directors (BOD) meetings are held monthly during the year. Please contact the VP of Student Affairs to attend a board meeting. All members are welcome.

Our constitution governs how the TGSA operates as a not-for-profit incorporated association. In the spring, constitutional changes are made at the Annual General Meeting with the approval of our general membership at Trent University. 

The TGSA works closely with our union, CUPE 3908, which aims to improve working conditions for graduate teaching assistants at Trent University. CUPE 3908 also provides additional funding for graduate students who are unit 2 workers.

In addition, the TGSA represents the voice of graduate students by sitting on various committees. This allows us to bring about issues or concerns regarding the operations and the administration of Trent University. If you have any concerns or questions that you would like to be addressed at any of these committees, please do not hesitate to contact us.
