The Graduate Student Association is dedicated to enhancing the social, academic and professional development of graduate students at UMass Lowell (UML).
Our goal is to reach out to the entire graduate student body through programs and support to create a forum for students and promote a positive environment for personal, professional and academic achievement. We encourage all graduate students to attend meetings, participate in discussions and bring forth issues, but note that only senators from the clubs may vote.
Visit the Engage website to learn more about UML graduate student clubs and activities.
