Recognizing Amazing Student Advocacy
The 30/30 campaign began in 2016 as NAGPS embarked on its 30th anniversary year under the motto of “Expanding Horizons.” We wanted to take the opportunity to recognize the amazing work our current member institutions do and also allow them to share with others, the wonderful benefits of being a part of NAGPS. On the road to our 2016 National conference, each month NAGPS recognized a few of its member institutions and those members, in turn, recognized and introduced a partner institution from their state in our 30/30 Campaign.
We remain dedicated to supporting our members and advancing the voices and interests of graduate-professional students nationwide and so we will continue to recognize our members and other graduate-professional students and governments through the 30/30 campaign. Stay tuned! You may see yous school being recognized!
Below are some of the NAGPS members and partner institutions we have recognized.
