E. Scott Adler
This is going to make a huge difference for our graduate students, and I couldn鈥檛 be happier that we are able to make this a reality. Over the past two years, we were able to chip away at some of the fees and provide for paid parental leave and dental coverage, but finally we鈥檙e in a position to remit fees for those on appointment. It鈥檚 really exciting.
I want to thank CU President Saliman and the board of regents for their unwavering advocacy and support of our graduate students. I also want to thank my predecessor Ann Schmiesing for the groundwork she laid in enhancing the graduate student experience, Chancellor Phil DiStefano, Provost Russ Moore and Chief Financial Officer Carla Ho鈥檃 for their commitment to allocate this very significant funding in support of our graduate students.
And most of all, I want to thank the members of the Graduate and Professional Student Government for their participation in the Graduate School Task Force and their patience as we endeavoured to find a way to fulfill the recommendations of the report."
