Welcome to the GSA!

President: Mike Bloem mbloem1@student.gsu.edu

Vice President: Sungmee Kim skim227@student.gsu.edu

Faculty Advisor: Michael Pesko mpesko@gsu.edu

The Economics Department’s Graduate Student Association (GSA) is a non-profit, student-run organization established for the benefit of all economics graduate students at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University. All officially-enrolled economics graduate students are automatically members of the GSA, and the GSA levies no dues.  The GSA promotes scholarship, develops a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among economics graduate students, and fosters interaction between graduate students and faculty.

What do we do?

The GSA organizes networking events, study sessions, and a variety of social events. GSA also assists with funding for conference travel. Each year is tailored to the needs and requests of the students. In the past years, we have:

Assisted 20+ students with conference travel

Participated in BOOF literacy training for youth with other AYS organizations

Led group outings to movies, professional mixers, and conferences

Hosted training sessions for EndNote, LaTex, giving a presentation, and more

Spearheaded AYSPS-wide events such as Coffees with the Dean and the Annual Picnic

Organized review sessions for comprehensive exams and job market packets

Taken day trips to Tybee Island, Cataloochie ski resort, and more

How do I join?

All economics graduate students are automatically members of the GSA. You can visit our Facebook site at http://www.facebook.com/econgsa/. We are always available to answer questions about the organization, the program, or the life of a graduate student at AYSPS. Feel free to email us directly with ideas and comments!

Engaged Research Competition (ERC)Application Deadline: Sept. 30, 2022, at 5:15 p.m. ET

The Georgia Policy Labs in the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies invites proposals for its inaugural Engaged Research Competition, which will award up to $35,000 to support engaged research with public or nonprofit partners. The competition is open to all tenure-track assistant professors at Georgia State University. Funds can be used for course releases, summer salary and more from January–June 2023.

These funds are intended to remove the structural barriers from conducting engaged research (e.g., the longer time to publication when answering questions of practice, complications setting up data sharing agreements, and time spent building trust with a partner).  

Applicants must apply through Georgia State’s Internal Grants portal. Applications must be submitted by Sept. 30, 2022, at 5:15 p.m. ET. Applications will be reviewed by a committee, with award decisions expected by the end of October.
