The Graduate Psychology Association (GPA) is the student organization for UIndy's graduate psychology students. All MA and PsyD students are automatically members of GPA, though the level of participation in GPA is voluntary.

GPA has three goals:

• Serve the graduate psychology students by offering practical information as well as social, recreational and volunteer opportunities
• Facilitate communication between students, faculty and staff
• Develop proposals for modifications to the graduate psychology programs

Many graduate students are active in GPA. The following are just a few examples of the benefits of participating in GPA.

• GPA's Peer Mentor Program offers incoming and returning students a mentor who can provide guidance from a student's perspective. GPA also offers annual workshops on curriculum vita development and interviewing prior to the practicum application process.
• GPA provides many opportunities for fellowship (holiday parties, happy hours, Indianapolis Indians baseball games), volunteerism (Habitat for Humanity, programs at a domestic violence shelter) and humanitarianism (food, clothing and blood drives).
• A designated faculty member serves as a liaison to GPA in order to gain student input and address any student concerns. Members of GPA also represent graduate psychology students by serving on various faculty committees. The bridge between students and faculty has resulted in positive changes for the graduate programs. For example, the graduate curriculum now includes 1 to 2 credit hour elective courses, which afford students more opportunities to further diversify or specialize their training.
• GPA provides students with leadership experience through positions on the executive committee, faculty committees and as class representatives.
• In addition to organized events and programs, GPA also offers students much informal support, education, and well-deserved diversion!
