Replying to @Miami_GSA
We've added a petition that anyone from the @miamiuniversity community can sign to show their support for transitioning to a holistic approach to financing graduate students. Find our petition at: forms.gle/s6Tic1ZkxSaahXTv7 . We really appreciate all of the support!!!

Really looking forward to this event! Hope to see lots of my fellow grad students there!

We know that alumni of Miami's graduate programs have benefitted from summer funding because some of you all have begun to share these stories with us—and we want to hear more! If you're alumni, tell us how you benefitted from summer funding: bit.ly/3dTj5zw

Awesome! Now, how much of this funding would be possible without graduate students, the ones who actually conduct a lot of the research write a lot of the publications? We may find out if @JasonWOsborne and @miamiuniversity continue to gut GA funding! @Miami_GSA

If you're a first year grad student at Miami, you're most likely to be detrimentally affected by cuts to summer funding—and we still need more first-year students at Miami to share their voices with us for our #MiamiGradsWork video campaign: forms.gle/zEcHjTvNtfuynuqf6 (1/2)

If you're a first-year student at Miami, we need more stories about how lack of summer funding would affect you! Share your voice with us today: forms.gle/zEcHjTvNtfuynuqf6 (2/2)
Every meeting the last twelve days: “Hopefully this rain stops soon” Me, a fluvial hydrologist in training: “Hopefully not! At least 1 more inch before the rivers flow again.” 🌧

Another example of Miami grad students giving more than 100% for their undergrad students - literally, since it’s unpaid work @crowdemw @JasonWOsborne @rosemarie @MiamiUGradSch @Miami_GSA – at Oxford, OH
I spent August adapting our lake lab to a “take home” version for the students. This required making 30+ secchi disks by hand (pictured below) and we ended up w/ two versions of the lab b/c of +COVID students. BTW: this was done unpaid as it was before the years TA start date.

.@OxMagMiami (Miami's grad student-run lit mag) hosts a reading TODAY featuring current MFA grad students in creative writing Lloyd Mullins, @KelseyTimmerman, & Hanna Litwionwicz. Register to join: miamioh.zoom.us/meeting/regi…
Graduate students should be fairly compensated for the work they do! Those secchi disks look good! 👏

The graduate student TAs @miamiuniversity are also adapting and innovating this semester, and many of them worked OVER THE SUMMER to prepare online/hybrid classes. Why aren't they being recognized, and instead their summer stipend is being taken away? @Miami_GSA @MiamiOHBioGS

So do grad students! We teach, we hold office hours, we review students’ assignments, help them with feedback, we grade. Often they come to us before they go to their professor! We adapted to being TAs, students, and researchers during this pandemic. #MiamiGradsWork @Miami_GSA
