Mission
We, the members of the Graduate Employees’ Organization (GEO), are committed to the
principles of participatory democracy. Thus, as graduate employees at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign (“the University”), we claim the right to participate in making decisions
that affect our lives. This can only mean our bona fide representation in University governance.
Formal recognition of the work of graduate employees generates due respect for our work and,
moreover, ensures better working conditions for all of us. This can only enable the University in
successfully fulfilling its mission, namely, to provide quality higher education. We envisage a
working and learning environment at this University that is democratic, inclusive,
non-discriminatory, and above all, just. We shall do everything in our power to materialize this
vision.
