All graduate students are part of the GSA! We send emails sharing information about resources and events that welcome graduate students, and sometimes, we ask for your feedback via online surveys so that we can better support your needs and interests. We also communicate about our elections so that you can participate in voting or run for office yourself!

Look for emails about spring events you can attend to learn more about GSA or email your Senators with your questions, suggestions, and concerns: https://gsa.umbc.edu/graduate-senators/

Best of luck on your exams, finals and presentations,

The GSA Cabinet
