The Graduate Student Association urges all graduate students to contact your state legislators, and express your support for higher education funding in the state of Nevada.

GSA LOGO DESIGN CONTEST

The Graduate Student Association (GSA) needs to update its logo to reflect the contributions and importance of graduate students to the University of Nevada, Reno.
Instead of hiring a design firm to create a new logo, GSA would like to acknowledge the potential and creativity of undergraduates and graduates at UNR by hosting a design competition. This competition will create interest and enthusiasm, contribute to a sense of community, and showcase the high-caliber work of UNR students. The winning student will be awarded a $350 scholarship (or cash for graduating students). For more information, click here.

GSA BLOG

The Graduate Student Association is now offering a UNR Graduate Student Blog. The blog takes the place of our monthly newsletter. We will be regularly posting information about graduate student events and activities, important dates and deadlines, graduate assistantship opportunities, and housing postings.
