Advocacy

The GSA represents the collective voice of University of Calgary graduate students at the UCalgary and to all levels of government. The GSA advocacy team advocates on your behalf through government, stakeholder, and community engagement, communication, and research.

The GSA represents the collective voice of UCalgary graduate students.

We form policy asks based on your feedback and present them to decision makers at the institutional, municipal, provincial, and federal level in collaboration with our advocacy partners.
