Who is the GSA?

YOU are the GSA!

The Graduate Student Association (GSA) serves the interests of over 1,900 graduate students at UCSC by representing grad concerns to faculty, administration, and staff, and to UC wide administrators.

We defend the interests of graduate students with regard to:

• • Tuition and fees
  • Childcare
  • Health insurance
  • Underrepresented students
  • Parking
  • International students
  • On-campus housing
  • Any other graduate issues

In addition, the GSA organizes and co-sponsors events that benefit grads, and makes available travel grants for graduate students attending conferences or traveling on thesis-related research. We do this by placing grads on key committees and by meeting directly with decision-makers.

The GSA Council consists of the elected Executive Board officers and a graduate representative from each degree-awarding department. The Council meets to discuss and strategize around grad student’s needs and concerns and to make funding decisions.

We hope to see you at our next Council meeting. For more information contact GSA or get in touch with the E-board.
