GPSC History
In 1991, three graduate students - Carlos Rodriguez, Javier Duran, and Stephanie Wickstrom - founded the Graduate Student Council, which soon became the Graduate and Professional Student Council. In its early years, the GPSC was a branch of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA). Now the GPSC is independent from the ASUA and has its own officers, directors, representatives, and budget. The GPSC has played major roles in improving graduate student life by pushing for programs such as health insurance, child care, TA and RA benefits, travel grants, and national advocacy (the latter primarily via the NAGPS).
