Mission and purpose of Geography Graduate Student Association (GGSA)
What does the GGSA do?

The GGSA (stands for Geography Graduate Student Association) has three roles:
- Foster community amongst graduate students
- Encourage and provide professional development opportunities for graduate students
- Formally interface with the department on behalf of graduate students

Why does the GGSA exist?
- The GGSA was formed at some unknown point in history to fulfill the three purposes. Its legacy is thanks to many boards who have found different ways to serve the GGIS graduate student body.
- If at any point the board’s role becomes irrelevant, abused, or useless, a majority of GGSA membership shall vote to disband GGSA, and de-register it.

Clarifications on the role of GGSA within the department:
- GGSA’s role does NOT include doing work for or on behalf of the GGIS department.
- This includes work such as:
-- Organizing alumni functions that are not student-originated
-- Organizing and coordinating reservations for events that are not student-originated
-- Staffing department events with no remuneration or wider call for volunteers by the department
-- Making wider calls to students on behalf of the department for unpaid labor
