The U of A Graduate and Professional Student Congress cordially invites all graduate students to our October Policy dialogue scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 3, starting at 5 p.m. via Zoom. 

Policy Dialogue is a forum where graduate and professional students interface with university administrators/experts to discuss pertinent topics that affect their wellbeing and success on campus. It is also an opportunity for GPSC members to explore possible areas of partnerships with campus organizations/units to improve service delivery and graduate students' experience.
The October dialogue focuses on Civic Engagement & Civic Discourse. Civic engagement and discourse are essential for shaping the future of our communities and ensuring that all voices are heard.

Civic discourse fosters respectful dialogue and the exchange of diverse ideas—something that is vital in today's world.
