The Graduate Liaison Committee (GLC) serves as the official representative body of the graduate students in the Department of History at the University of Washington. The GLC was established in order to promote effective and fair communication between faculty, staff, and graduate students, as well as among graduate students. The committee is comprised of one M.A. or Ph.D. student, one Ph.D. candidate, and one student employee, elected annually by the graduate students in the department.

GLC Elections

As we approach the end of another academic year it is time to think about who you would like to nominate for next year's Graduate Liaison Committee (GLC).

GLC representatives play an important role in the affairs of the history department. Each quarter, representatives attend history department faculty meetings to provide graduate student presence and input, organizes meetings for graduate students, put together brown bag sessions, and plans our social activities. They also gather and present graduate student concerns and needs to history department staff and faculty on an as-needed basis. The GLC was reconstituted in 1998, and since then has served and, we hope, will continue to serve the critical role of giving graduate students a voice in the affairs of our department.

GLC representatives are chosen to serve in one of three positions: MA or PhD student (pre-candidate), PhD candidate, and student employee. Anyone running for the PhD candidate position must have achieved candidacy prior to taking office.

At this time we would like to open up the nomination process for next year's GLC. People can nominate themselves or others to serve on the GLC. There are no term limits for the GLC - current members, as well as previous members, are eligible to be nominated to serve on the GLC again. Nominations should be sent to glchist@u.washington.edu.
