Graduate Students' Association

The Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) of the University of Calgary is committed to enhancing the student experience. Quality Money initiatives and grants are one way that the GSA returns to the student community. Emphasis is placed upon proposals which impact the majority of students, promote multidisciplinary interactions, and integrate sustainable initiatives.

This project provided books, toys, and movies for children of Graduate Students. Take a look at the video below to see the difference Quality Money projects can make for your campus.
