About the Graduate and Professional Student Council
Each year, the Eller College of Management graduate student body elects two peers* to represent them on the Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC). The GPSC is a student government organization that brings together graduate students from across the University to
- promote the academic, economic, and social aims of the graduate and professional students of the University of Arizona.
- establish effective communication among graduate students and professional students.
- facilitate communication within the University and with other organizations.
Meetings
The GPSC holds biweekly meetings during the academic year and monthly meetings during the summer. All meetings are open to the public; anyone who is interested may attend. Please see the GPSC Calendar for a schedule of upcoming meetings.
