Running for: Campus Head Steward
I am a fourth-year Ph.D. Student in History of Art & Visual Studies, and I have been organizing with CGSU-UE since before our membership card drive in 2023. In addition to serving as a Region 3 representative on our Bargaining Committee, I helped create and coordinate the humanities and social sciences organizing structure during our strike escalation campaign from the ground up. Since we ratified our contract, I serve as an interim steward in Region 3, a member of the Interim Grievance Committee, and a member of the Labor Management Committee, which meets with Cornell to implement our contract. From the stewarding work that I have done, it is clear that Cornell graduate workers deserve better. Now that we have an industry-setting contract, we must hold Cornell accountable by building out a powerful network of stewards to fight for the issues that matter most on this campus—international worker protections, protections for political speech, and academic due process. I am running for Campus Head Steward as part of the Fight Together 4 CGSU slate because establishing our steward structure as a powerful, inclusive, and collaborative force in every department across campus will enable us to take on more ambitious fights and protect grads for years to come.
