- The mission and purpose of the association is to help other graduate students in the Languages Literatures and Cultures Dept. in any way possible, and if for some reason we cannot assist, we will point them in the right direction, and we will find a resource that can help them.
- We have a social event at the beginning of every fall semester. The event is opened to all graduate students in this dept. to get together, and to get to know each other in a more informal setting.
- We also organize a lecture led by one of our faculty members every year.
- Our association hosts a graduate student conference every year.
