Graduate Student Union

A Graduate Student Union is an organized group representing the interests of graduate students, such as those pursuing master's or doctoral degrees. It functions like a union or association, advocating for members' rights, working conditions, benefits, and academic concerns. The union may negotiate with university administration on issues like stipends, health coverage, workload, and policies, aiming to improve the overall experience of graduate students. It provides a collective voice, fostering community and support among members while ensuring their interests are considered within the university governance structure.
