Activities

Welcome to the GSA website! This year, the GSA looks forward to hosting traveling socials for graduate students in designated buildings across campus. The GSA will also plan a semester social, inviting all members to attend at a location of their choice. We will be helping to organize the research symposium being held at the Dixon Center in Harrisburg this year. The GSA will hold monthly meetings, and all members are invited to attend. The days and times of these meetings will be announced shortly!

New ideas and plenty of enthusiasm are always welcome. Any graduate student interested in getting more information about the GSA and upcoming programs should call (871-2492) for Cait Tomeo, GSA President and Graduate Assistant in the College of Graduate and Professional Studies.
