GPSC continues to make positive steps towards establishing a strong presence on campus and in the community for graduate and professional students. As part of a new organizational structure, Directors were employed to handle the day-to-day operations of the Council. GPSC sponsors several projects for the first time, including a Child Care Initiatives Fundraiser, a T A employment survey, a constituent survey, a handbook/day planner, a Roundtable Discussion, an Awards Banquet for Graduate and Professional Students, and a presentation of Showcase winners to the Arizona State Legislature. Additionally, GPSC continues to develop and expand events such as Graduate Orientation, Showcase, and Graduate/Professional Student Appreciation Week. GPSC was also honored to host the Western Regional chapter of National Association of Graduate & Professional Students(NAGPS). The newsletter, now called the GradCat, multiplies to three issues over 5 months and reaches thousands of graduate and professional students.
