A Message From the Chairman

Thank you for visiting the homepage of the Greater Philadelphia Students Association. We are very excited to continue our mission of connecting student leaders in the Philadelphia region and have an ambitious agenda for the 2005-2006 school year. Under my administration, it is my hope that each school is acquainted with GPSA's mission, our programs, and how they can use our resources to share information and/or events with students from across the region.

Since I've assumed the role of Chair, the GPSA Board has been making steady progress in connecting the region. Notably, we've installed several new board members from across the region, sponsored the GPSA VIP Lounge at the Campus Philly Kickoff, created a media leaders initiative, championed the GPSA Ambassadors program, created a Google Maps-based student leader directory, and I have personally traveled to about ten colleges and universities explaining our mission. Yet GPSA still has a lot of progress to make and we cannot do it alone. As you learn more about our initiatives, take the time to join us in connecting the Philadelphia region through our membership page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my e-mail.
