About the GSA

GSA is your student organization, whether you are in a thesis or non-thesis track and no matter what discipline or program you have selected. We hold monthly meetings in which we discuss current issues that concern students across campus and invite specialists who improve our understanding of the university and other aspects of graduate education. We offer financial assistance and a venue for constructive dialogue, as well as educational, organizational and emotional support. Each student who is an active participant of the GSA can benefit from travel grants for conferences and travels related to your studies, even if you are not a presenter. We also encourage students to profit from the non-academic support services that the Graduate Student Life program offers, with various activities geared to improve your time here.

The purpose of this organization shall be to encourage, recognize and assist all graduate students academically and socially, as well as to promote the interests and welfare of graduate students within the university."(Article IV, Section 1 of the GSA Constitution)
