Free Money! Start a Mini-GSA
If your department does not have a departmental organization to represent graduate students, you should form one now. These mini-GSAs offer the opportunity to have a unified graduate student voice for your department and help strengthen the voice of the entire graduate student body. To top it off, we will give your department $300 a year that you're free to spend on programs, speakers, or even just snacks at a weekly meeting.

Learn more about the mini-GSA program.
