WE REPRESENT, ADVOCATE FOR AND SUPPORT NINER GRADUATE STUDENTS.
The Graduate & Professional Student Government (GPSG) is the official voice of UNC Charlotte’s 5,990-plus graduate students, including 1,649 international and professional students. We’re here to support graduate student academic success, leadership growth, research goals—and yes, even their sanity.
Want to connect? Download the free Niner Engage+ app and join the Graduate Students Chat. It’s our virtual hub where GPSG leaders, Graduate Student Organization (GSO) officers, and grad students swap ideas, wins, memes, and support. No gatekeeping—just community.
Since 1999, GPSG has backed over 37 GSOs and helped more than 6,000 students present their research across the globe. Every GSO gets a vote in the GPSG Senate, which meets monthly—8 times a year on the 4th Tuesday in Popp Martin Student Union Room 200 from 4 to 5 pm.
