Our goal is to build a supportive professional community for those administrators working with graduate student populations.Our 2016-2017 goals include increasing and broadening our membership base, contributing to the body of knowledge and scholarly work sharing best practices for supporting graduate and professional student success, and increasing awareness of the needs of graduate/professional students within the NASPA community. Whether you work with medical, law, pharmacy, or interdisciplinary graduate students --- AGAPSS invites you to be part of the conversation! We want to hear from you!
