UNK Graduate Student Association

The University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Graduate Student Association was established in 2023 to provide a community of like-minded graduate students from all programs. GSA represents graduate students to the Graduate Council, the UNK campus, and the University of Nebraska system. This organization seeks to advocate for, inform, and connect students during their time as Lopers, whether they are online or in-person. 

Who can join? All graduate students, both online and in-person, including students enrolled in UNK’s accelerated programs (provided they are currently enrolled in a graduate course) are eligible to be a part of GSA.
