LATE SUMMER 2008 EVENTS

GPSA has NEW ticket procedures. We will now be selling tickets at a heavily subsidized cost and will no longer use the lottery system. Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. They can only be purchased in-person at the William Pitt Union box office (on the main floor by the front desk.) The box office is open every week day from 9 AM - 4:45 PM. You must bring your student ID with you. In order to purchase GPSA tickets, you must register with us FIRST so we can give your name to the box office. Students already registered with GPSA will automatically be on the list.
Thanks!

About GPSA

The Graduate and Professional Student Assembly is the student government that represents the interests of all graduate and professional student at the University of Pittsburgh and serves as the umbrella organization for all of the graduate/professional school student governments. Our mission is to act as the voice of our constituents and to actively ensure that the concerns of these students are heard.

GPSA includes both the GPSA Assembly and Assembly Groups. As the chief governing body of GPSA, the Assembly is composed of the four executive officers as well as representatives from each school's student governments. The Groups are organizations designed to represent specific needs of university students across different schools. Our funds come from the student activity fee.

Examples of programs and services we provide include the following:

  • annual funding to each graduate school's student government (in addition to supplemental funds for which any student groups may apply.)

  • $100-200 travel grants to students presenting at conferences.

  • free legal services (in conjunction with the undergraduate Student Government Board).

  • sponsorship of additional activities ranging from social functions to academic workshops.

  • representation on university-wide committees such as Provost's Advisory Committees, University Senate Standing Committees, and others.
