Association of Graduate English Students (AGES)

In Fall 2000, the Department’s graduate students formed the Association of Graduate English Students (AGES) as a Registered Student Organization, with representation on the University-wide Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC).  Each Spring, graduate students elect officers (President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary) who serve for a one (1) year term.  Officers appoint graduate students to serve on a variety of AGES subcommittees and Departmental Committees. 

AGES members take part in the department’s orientation efforts by running a mentoring program for all incoming graduate students, and they sponsor a variety of workshops each semester designed to address graduate student concerns.

For more information on AGES, contact the Graduate Director at 269-387-2584.
