English Graduate Organization (EGO)

Organization Mission

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.
