Miami Herbert graduate students are encouraged to engage in student organizations. These academic, cultural, and social organizations foster leadership development and provide real-world learning opportunities ranging from professional networking to community service.
For more info on joining GBSA or a committee within GBSA, please email Alexis Rodriguez (Alexis.rodriguez@miami.edu).
Graduate Business Student Association
The GBSA serves as the voice for all Graduate Business Students at the University of Miami. Every student in good academic standing is automatically granted membership and your level of involvement is completely up to you. As an active member, you can participate in global networking events, interdisciplinary social events with other University of Miami schools, engage with senior Miami Herbert leadership, and much more.
Any student interested in becoming an active member can do so in one of three ways:
- Run for a position on the E-Board during annual elections and special elections (voting position)
- Get elected as one of your cohort’s representatives at any point throughout your program (voting position)
- Attend general meetings, participate in events, and contribute to discussions as a general member whenever you want (non-voting position)
Involvement with GBSA is a great way to improve communication and leadership skills, and to cultivate valuable interpersonal connections and career opportunities with the help of UM’s professional network.
