Graduate Student Organizations – Recognition

 

Recognition for Pre-Existing Organizations

Organizations that are pre-existing need to register with the University through the Office of Student Life for the 2012-2013 year by going through an annual process known as “Recognition”.

You will receive information about this process at the summer GSA meeting on August 9^th, 12pm.

You will be able to log on to this meeting virtually by going here and entering as a guest: http://drexelmeeting.adobeconnect.com/centercity/

Though this meeting is mandatory for presidents and treasurers, we encourage all executive members to attend. After the GSA meeting, a review of the steps for recognition will be available for download here.
