What is EdGSA?
EdGSA is the School of Education subcommittee of the larger
Graduate Student Association at UC, Davis that aims to improve
graduate education and provide services, social events, and a
forum for us to express concerns. The goals
of EdGSA are to advocate for students, ensure the
inclusion of students in policy decisions, support students in
their quest toward academic scholarship, and establish a
community that fosters social justice in the SOE.
Who is a part of EdGSA?
As regularly enrolled graduate students in the School of
Education (PhD, EdD, Masters) and professional students in the
teaching credential program, you all will automatically be EdGSA
members. Members of EdGSA nominate students to be the
representatives of their emphasis area.
Recent and Ongoing EdGSA Activities:
- Prospective Student Dinner at Red 88
- Emphasis Area Happy Hour Socials
- Student Mentoring QA Sessions/Videos: qualifying exams,
dissertation process, and job searches (contact Leslie Banes for
info)
- Mentorship Social for First Year Students

If you have any ideas or concerns to share with the EdGSA
officers, issues specific to your emphasis area, or if you would
like to get involved, please don’t hesitate to contact
us.
