First AGC Annual Legislative Blitz



AGC Delegation with MLAs


Rithesh Ram (UofC), Ben Whynot (UofA) and David Coletto (UofC) meet with Dave Hancock, Minister of Education


On October 27 and 28, 2008 members of the Alberta Graduate Council met with 17 members of the Alberta Legislative Assembly.

During the meetings, graduate student representatives discussed the three policy priorities of the Alberta Graduate Council:

1. $1,500 research allowance for all graduate students
2. Creation of a SSHRC mirror in Alberta
3. Increase in base grant funding for Alberta institutions for graduate education.

Each MLA was sent a policy document outlining the proposals of the AGC.  A copy of the document can be found here.
