Welcome to the newly revamped GSAÉD website!
The Associations
The Graduate Students Association of the University of Ottawa (GSAÉD) recognizes Departmental Associations (DA) that represent and advocate for the interests of graduate students within their specific departments. These associations play a crucial role in fostering a sense of community, organizing academic and social events, and providing a platform for students to voice their concerns and participate in the decision-making process at both the departmental and university levels. Each departmental association operates according to its bylaws and works in collaboration with the GSAÉD to enhance the graduate student experience on campus.
