Who We Are
The University of Manitoba Graduate Students’ Association (UMGSA) is the student-governed association representing graduate students at the University of Manitoba, which functions on all of its affiliate campuses. With over 3500 students completing graduate work in more than 90 disciplines, the UMGSA is the official voice of graduate students at the University of Manitoba.
We are guided by our vision, goals and governing documents, all of which focus on promoting and providing graduate student advocacy, offering services and support to students, as well as developing and encouraging involvement in the graduate student community. Drop by our office at 221 University Centre to learn about us, get involved, have a cup of coffee, or use our printing services.
