The Graduate Student Association has existed in various forms since 1964. All graduate students at UNCG are considered full members of the GSA. Our mission and goals focus on education, service, and advocacy. To forward these, we assemble graduate student representatives from across the university's graduate programs. This group meets regularly several times each semester with a four-person executive board. The GSA also appoints delegates to faculty and staff senates as well as other committees and groups throughout the university. We annually award over $30,000 to assist with graduate student travel and work on theses and dissertations. Currently, we are working to affiliate with and develop graduate student groups throughout the university.
