Statistics Graduate Student Association

---

The Statistics Graduate Student Association (SGSA) is the official organization for graduate students in the Department of Statistics and the Group in Biostatistics at the University of California, Berkeley. The SGSA exists to look after student needs, to represent student interests, and to function as the formal channel for communication between graduate students and faculty. All graduate students in the Department of Statistics or the Group in Biostatistics are automatically members of the SGSA.

The SGSA is in contact with the Graduate Assembly (GA) and the Association of Graduate Student Employees (AGSE), to discuss topics of concern to all graduate students. SGSA officers occasionally meet with the department chair and department committees to discuss topics of interest to students. The SGSA has representatives on some of the department committees. The SGSA also organizes a number of social events (see below.)
