Concerns?
The GSA is actively involved in advocacy on supervision-related matters. While our hope is that all our members have productive, supportive, and respectful relationships with their supervisors, we recognize that this is not always the case. Because the relationship with your supervisor is of great importance, we encourage anyone experiencing an issue in this area to seek assistance by contacting us, the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research, and/or Office of the Student Ombuds.
