Graduate Student Association of Archaeology

The Graduate Student Association of Archaeology (GSAA) encourages the investigation of material culture and human behavior through archaeological research, discussion, and collaboration. It is the principal organizing body for all graduate students in the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, although it welcomes applications from any UCLA graduate student with an interest in archaeology. The GSAA functions as a forum for its members to elect representatives, make collective decisions, organize events, and share concerns and news that pertain to the Cotsen IoA, the broader UCLA community, and the discipline of archaeology as a whole. Such matters include, but are not limited to, teaching assistant responsibilities and experiences, graduate curriculum, graduate student funding, career possibilities, publishing opportunities, and research. The GSAA endeavors to serve the academic and social wellbeing of its members.
