The Graduate Association for Students in Psychology (GASP)

Run entirely by graduate students, GASP was created in 1988 to establish a formal structure through which students could express their concerns about any aspects of graduate life within Psychology to the department and beyond, and which could serve as a coordinating body to carry out students' wishes and suggestions. GASP strives to enhance the quality of academic and social life in the department by encouraging inter-area communication, and by promoting a sense of community between the students, faculty, and staff.
