Welcome to the Graduate Student Organization (GSO)
Mission
The purpose of the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) is to foster a sense of community among the master's students of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. GSO provides opportunities for professional networking and development, conference scholarships, and social programming. GSO is a direct link between master's students and the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing.
All master’s students enrolled in the Graduate Division of the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing, including matriculated BSN/MSN students, comprise the membership of GSO.
Goals
GSO will address issues pertinent to graduate students through attending GSO/GAPSA meetings, events, and activities; networking with other graduate students; and representing the nursing graduate student voice in both University and School of Nursing policies and operations.
GSO sponsors guest speakers and social activities. GSO is also actively involved in graduation planning and responsible for awarding a graduate faculty member with the Outstanding Nurse Educator Award.
All graduate students receive emails through the GSO listserv. The Board of Directors can be reached via email at gsoboard@nursing.upenn.edu.
