The University of Alberta Graduate Psychology Association is an officially registered student group which represents all psychology graduate students at the U of A. We are organized to represent students at decision-making committees at the departmental level, run social and academic events, and support one another in our research, professional and social lives throughout grad school.
The GPA holds meetings approximately once per term, with the main meeting usually held in September to welcome the new students. There are two co-chair positions, with the junior chair replacing the senior chair every year. The co-chairs organize meetings, represent the GPA at the departmental meetings, and act as advisors to students in need. Other positions in the GPA include the Psychoquium coordinators, a Social Events team, Graduate Lunch Series coordinators, and representatives to the University of Alberta Graduate Students' Association Council. All of these positions are elected, and are typically filled at the September meeting.
