GSOs (Graduate Student Organizations) [1]
The Graduate Student Senate has more than 40 graduate student organizations (GSOs), which are responsible for many graduate student events and programming held on campus, including: concerts, lectures, academic outreach, professional development, cultural and social events, and conferences.
As a member of the UMass graduate community, you are invited to explore existing GSOs, and to start new one(s) centering on an academic, professional, cultural, hobbyist, or topic(s)!
