The Graduate Students Association in Education is one of two official student leadership groups within the Gevirtz School that exists to promote and represent the administrative, academic, and student affairs interests of students in the GGSE and to the UCSB campus community. GSAE elected officers and the general student population, make decisions by consensus to promote student participation in a manner that is rewarding, challenging, and supportive. Activities supported by the GSAE include providing student mentorship, relaying school and campus information and organizing events of interest to GGSE students.
To make suggestions, share ideas or become involved in GSAE related activities, join other students by attending general open-session meetings (determined each quarter), volunteering for student-centered events and support other students by serving as mentors to a new or junior peer. Other opportunities arise throughout the year based on scheduled activities.
