Our Organizing Committee comprises of UMass Boston Graduate Students who are passionate about labour issues and ensuring the fair and equal treatment of Graduate Workers. Check out your GEO Organizing Committee members, their office hours, contact information, and more:
Warren Hinckle
Warren Hinckle joined the GEO Organizing Committee as a student in Spring ’17, continued until he received his MFA in May ’18, and was then brought on as a staffer for the union–and he’s happy for it. Though a writer by education and vocation, he’s found solid craft in union work and, even better than discovering solid craft, has discovered immensely wonderful, beautiful, and actualized people.
