GPSC spends much of the year negotiating with ASUA to restructure student government at UA so that it better serves graduate students. GPSC thinks ASUA is not negotiating, so it goes to the administration. GPSC battles ASUA to get money to fund professional activities for graduate students. The Professional Opportunities Development Fund is created half-way through the year and seeded with $15,000. The first annual Graduate Orientation takes place. GPSC elections are done by mail.
