I have reached a decision

I have decided it is time for action. I am currently seeking out ideas, suggestions and support for the formation of a new association - the Canadian Association of Distance Graduate Students.

So having said that here is my proposed Mission Statement:

Mission Statement

" The promote the involvement of distance graduate students in the graduate experience by working with universities and associations to advocate for authentic experiences, opportunities and awards targeted specifically at distance graduate students."

Vision

1. To provide distance graduate students equal opportunities for research and teaching assistantships.
2. To provide access for distance students to virtually attend workshops and presentations provided by their faculty or GSA.
3. To lobby and campaign for scholarships, bursaries and endowments that can equally accessed by distance students.
4. To advocate for fair and reasonable tuition fees.

Please pass this along to those you know
