WELCOME TO
The Graduate and Professional Student Assembly at the University of Pennsylvania
WHO WE ARE
The Graduate and Professional Student Assembly, serves as the official student government representing graduate and professional students across all twelve Schools at the University of Pennsylvania. We actively back and champion the interests of graduate and professional students, collaborating closely with administrators to ensure their perspectives are acknowledged. The executive board members are chosen through general assembly elections. Our general assembly is composed of graduate and professional students from all 12 schools at Penn. We convene every two weeks on Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 PM to deliberate on diverse initiatives, priorities, and concerns relevant to graduate and professional students.
