To our new graduate students, GRASAG-USA will forever be the platform to provide academic, social, personal, and professional support as you pursue your graduate degrees. Do not be an island. Reach out to any of us if you need any assistance. You are not alone. The executive board is poised to provide all members equitable, inclusive, and participatory leadership and programmatic support. We have designed diverse welfare benefits, programs, and initiatives such as research and conference grants, book and scholarship grants, and food banks to support members.
