Higher Education Graduate Student Association
The Higher Education Graduate Student Association (HEGSA) works to facilitate a fellowship of students who share solidarity in the common endeavor of earning a graduate degree in higher education. To this end, the Association serves all CHDCM Higher Education Graduate Students with three essential purposes:
- Social Focus. The association provides opportunities for social interaction with fellow student
colleagues. This is accomplished through established formal departmental events, as
well as through more informal stand-alone Association events.
- Academic Focus. The association exposes its members to student and faculty experiences so that students
in every phase of the program can garner an enhanced understanding of success in the
program and field of study.
- Networking Focus. In concert with the social and academic focus, the Association provides opportunities for members to gain broader understandings of career opportunities relevant to degree attainment. Additionally, to the extent feasible, the association seeks ways to connect members directly with professional contacts in the field.
