Who we are
GWU2 is comprised of graduate students who teach, research, and grade across numerous gW colleges and departments.
“I am proud to be a member of GWU2. I see how dedicated my colleagues are to make things better not just for themselves but for future generations of grad students.”
— Bedirhan Mutlu, 2nd year PhD Student in Political Science
Some of What We’re Fighting for:
Transparency and respect from GWU with regards to our general treatment and wages.
A living wage for all student workers with annual cost of living adjustment (COLA).
Improved access to healthcare, including vision, dental, and mental health coverage.
Free-to-students UPass that stays on year round.
Standard work assignments (consistent hours, even expectations for TAships across departments and schools, etc.).
Paid leave (sick days, vacation, parental, etc.).
Office space for all PhD students.
Increased campus protections for international students.
