Serving the UMass Boston Graduate Community
Recognized Professional Associations The GSA sponsors Recognized Professional Associations (RPAs) to enrich the quality of graduate education and life at UMass Boston. RPAs receive a fixed amount of funding per year. Once approved and activated, organizations can submit proposals for additional funds to host special events. All RPAs are open to all graduate students. If there is currently no RPA which matches your interests, you may consider organizing a new one. A potential new RPA must have at least 10 graduate student members (but no two RPAs may have more than a 20% membership crossover), a constitution outlining its purpose, structures, and procedures, and a faculty advisor.
The RPA Activation deadlines for each semester are advertised in the Mass Media and also posted on this site. The activation packages are available from this website .
The Spring 2008 application is now available. All applications are due Monday, February 4, 2008 at NOON. RPA.pdf
