As your representative body on campus, the GSA’s mission is to support and speak for the interests of Buffalo State's current and future graduate students.

Additionally, we encourage and organize scholarly activities, provide leadership on campus, and promote social opportunities for networking with other like minded people, in professional and academic settings. 

• We advocate for your rights and interests while attending Buffalo State University by providing a forum for interaction among our diverse population.
• We offer leadership opportunities, services, and programs while furnishing reliable and valuable information. 
• We provide an influential network of current students and alumni for academic and professional development. 
• We promote a sense of community for all students by encouraging and facilitating communication.

GSA members are full- and part-time matriculated graduate students attending Buffalo State University and pay the GSA fee.

We require a modest fee of $3.50 per credit hour of study, in order to create opportunities for Buffalo State graduate students who are looking to:

• Secure funding for their research and scholarship.
• Participate in professional organizations and conferences
• Create and present professional posters and documents related to research and scholarship.
