As a new semester draws near, The University of Western Ontario is gearing up to help meet the needs of graduate students. According to Western News, The Society of Graduate Students (SOGS) provides services and benefits such as bus passes, a health plan, and financial support, as well as enrichment opportunities like the Western Research Forum, bringing grad students from all different disciplines together to present their research. SOGS also owns The Grad Club- a restaurant/bar that operates out of Middlesex College.
As graduate enrolment continues to climb at many universities, there is growing recognition and acknowledgement that graduate students have different needs from undergraduates. McMaster University has even created a new position to tackle the many unique issues these students face- that of assistant dean of graduate student life and research-the first of its kind at a Canadian university.
