Update from SAGE – Be Part of the White Paper Committee!
The national graduate student government coalition, Student Advocates for Graduate Education – or SAGE, is looking for students who are interested in writing white papers about higher education funding, research funding, and international student issues. Please see below if you are interested in getting involved!
At their recent meeting, SAGE selected the following topics for white papers that will be delivered to congress during our SAGE day on the hill even this spring:
- Higher Education Funding(i.e., Increase federal funding for higher education)
- Research Funding(i.e., increase funding for NIH, NSF, DARPA, and other federal research agencies that fund graduate student research. Also, review funding requirements for Graduate Fellows and Assistants)
- International Student Issues(i.e., support for a policy that would provide international advanced degree holders trained in the U.S. with green cards)
If you are a graduate student and would like to help write one of these white papers, please sign up tojoin a white paper committee here! We also ask that you forward this invitation to any graduate students at your university who may be interested.
In addition to selecting white papers, we also shared the results of SAGE’s Fall 2022 Advocacy Survey. You can find the presentation here.
