Graduate Association

The Sociology Graduate Student Association (SGSA) is an organization that brings together the graduate students in the sociology department at UCLA. SGSA serves as an intermediary between graduate students and faculty in the department. Our primary goal is to represent student interests and concerns to the department so that we can improve the UCLA Sociology graduate student experience.
