The Graduate Student Association is a student fee funded organization formed by students to promote the interests of the graduate student body at UNCG. We meet monthly during the fall and spring semesters in joint senate and executive board meetings to discuss issues relevant to the general membership. The association is student operated and governed. Throughout the year we award approximately $50,000 to support travel to conferences, assist with thesis and dissertation expense, and provide grants for local community-based research. We believe that it is our responsibility to act as good university citizens by informing ourselves about the actions of the university, the community, and the state, and to advocate for the interests of all UNCG graduate students in terms of employment, professional development, and school/life balance.
Our website includes an abundance of information you may find helpful, not only as a senator in the Graduate Student Association regarding meetings, attendance, and financial opportunities, but also regarding programs of interest to help increase your professional development, leadership skills, and self-care as a graduate student here at UNCG! We have included information and website links to several different offices on campus that you may find useful during your time here as a graduate student. View the pages below for more information.
