History and Constitution
The Graduate Studies Association at Millersville University was originally organized on October 18, 1990 as the Graduate Student Organization. Membership in the association, which does not require any dues, is open to all graduate students at the university and requires only that a graduate student attend or participate in at least one GSA meeting or function. A copy of the GSA Constitution is available by clicking here (PDF).
Activities and News
The GSA holds official meetings on the first Thursday of each month during the academic year. The meetings are held from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Lyle Hall in the Graduate Studies Office.
Each academic year, the GSA holds periodic organizational meetings and sponsors a variety of functions. In past years, GSA events have included graduate student socials on campus and at nearby restaurants, guest speakers to campus, graduate student receptions before and after commencement exercises to honor graduate students receiving degrees, and community service projects.
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) or email Erin Fawcett, GSA treasurer and graduate assistant in the Office of Graduate Studies and Research.
