The Administrators in Graduate and Professional Student Services (AGAPSS) Knowledge Community provides a supportive forum for University administrators who serve the needs of graduate and professional students. Members of the community work within a number of graduate education settings including divisions of student affairs, graduate schools, and law, business and health-related professional schools, for example. The AGAPSS knowledge community community encourages member interaction and the sharing of information in the hope of better serving graduate and professional students. The AGAPSS Knowledge Community works to:
- Foster program presentations and workshops on graduate services at regional and national conferences to enhance the professional development of persons working in this area as well as to provide an opportunity for others to become more aware of these issues.
- Sponsor an annual day-long pre-conference at the NASPA National Conference
- Encourage research and scholarly publication in the area of graduate and professional student needs and services.
- Collaborate with other higher education (i.e, ACPA, CAS) and graduate and professional education associations (CGS,AAMC,AACSB,etc) to promote the expansion of services to G&Ps and development of best practices and standards.
