This brief summarizes GPSG’s recent federal advocacy efforts in Washington, DC, where our Director of State & Federal Relations, Hannah Friedman, met with congressional offices to discuss proposed scientific budget cuts and their potential impact on research at UNC and beyond.
As graduate and professional students, federal funding directly shapes our research, training opportunities, and academic futures. This document outlines key takeaways from those conversations and highlights areas where student voices are critical.
We encourage you to review the materials and share any experiences or concerns that should be elevated in future advocacy efforts. The link to the full brief, along with relevant resources and information, is included here: Full DC Brief.
