The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) is the representative body for all graduate students on UTEP’s campus. GSA ensures that students' concerns are heard. GSA contributes to a collegial, collaborative, and interdisciplinary community of graduate students. More broadly, GSA shares the Graduate School's commitment to fostering an inclusive, safe, and diverse culture of graduate education.

GSA wants to ensure the success of UTEP graduate students. You can help, too. All UTEP graduate students are automatically members of the Graduate Student Assembly, and each College/School and graduate program can name a representative to the Graduate Student Advisory Board. If you would like to become more active in the group, attend our next meeting or event, follow us on Facebook, or email us at gradsa@utep.edu.
