The Graduate Student Association (GSA) meets monthly with representatives from each of the UMB School of Graduate Studies programs.
Our goal is to advance the needs of graduate students across all disciplines and departments. GSA collaborates with campus-wide organizations to enhance graduate opportunities and address student concerns. We host the annual Graduate Research Conference (in-person and virtual), administer achievement awards and funding to individuals and groups, and host networking/social events.
GSA provides various funding opportunities to UMB graduate students and student groups in order to facilitate student success.
GSA supports and celebrates graduate students by offering a variety of awards throughout the year. These awards recognize students’ academic achievements, leadership, and research. Through these opportunities, GSA highlights graduate student excellence and encourages continued growth and engagement.
Meet and Confer (M&C) is a forum where graduate assistants can formally raise concerns with the University of Maryland, Baltimore administration on a wide variety of topics, including stipends, student health insurance, campus parking and transportation, equity, and campus safety.
