The University of Arkansas is thrilled to host the 2015 NAGPS Southcentral Regional Conference. The conference will be held in beautiful Fayetteville, Arkansas on the campus of the University of Arkansas from March 6 – 8, 2015. The National Association of Graduate-Professional Students (NAGPS) is a student-run national, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of graduate & professional student lives.

Once a year, The NAGPS Southcentral Regional Conference brings together graduate students from Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Puerto Rico, to discuss issues and initiatives important to the lives of graduate and professional students, and you’re invited! The planning committee is working diligently on conference components and making it an enjoyable and worthwhile event. We hope you join us for this year’s regional conference!

[tab title=Host Location ] [headline] University of Arkansas Graduate Student Congress[/headline]

The University of Arkansas has been the center of higher education for nearly 150 years and recently joined the top 2% of research schools in the nation. Our campus values discovery. The university offers more than 200 degree programs, many among the nation’s best, including eighty master’s and fifty-three doctoral programs. We encourage undergraduate research in nearly every discipline and foster investigation and inquiry from our graduate students.

 

The Graduate Student Congress exists to provide an institutional outlet for graduate students to voice their concerns. The GSC serves as the liaison between the graduate student body and other university entities that work with graduate students. A key mission of the GSC is to host social and professional development events for the entire graduate student body to create a sense of community on campus for graduate students.
