The Organization
of Graduate Students in Comparative Literature (OGSCL) was
founded in 1997 by a group of Comparative Literature
graduate students at UMass Amherst as "a centralized
form of representation on university and departmental committees,
a clearinghouse of valuable career oriented information,
and a time and place for congregating to discuss issues
of interest within our specific areas of interest and the
Comparative Literature discipline in general."
All
current Comparative Literature graduate students at UMass
Amherst are considered OGSCL members. The organization
is loosely structured, and has no governing body, however,
since
2005 OGSCL members have been selecting two coordinators
responsible for scheduling meetings and coordinating activities.
Every
semester OGSCL holds on average two general meetings, in
which members discuss current concerns, elect representatives
to various committees and on-campus organizations, and
plan upcoming events.
For more information, please refer

biannual newsletter.
