GPSA Co-Sponsorship
GPSA can also financially co-sponsor events. Any student organization affiliated at University Park is allowed to approach GPSA for co-sponsoring an event that aims at benefiting graduate students. Please note:
- The GPSA must be given one week’s notice of collaboration with any external organization. The purpose is to ensure that the organization is in compliance with the University’s Core Values including diversity, inclusion, and equity.
- When applicable, it is highly recommended to request funds for an event from other sources, such as UPAC or academic departments, before pursuing a co-sponsorship with GPSA.
If you are interested in having GPSA co-sponsor an event with your organization, please email GPSA@psu.edu (please cc lawrence@psu.edu and drz5065@psu.edu) with a description of the event and how it is relevant to graduate students. You will then be connected with a member of GPSA who can work with you to develop the legislation which would be brought to our Assembly for your event’s funding. Please contact us at least a month before your event date regarding any potential co-sponsorships. You will also be asked to fill out the following 2 forms (Co-Sponsorship Request Form and Itemized List Spreadsheet) before the co-sponsorship funding legislation can be voted on by the Assembly:
