The Graduate Environmental Studies Student Association (GESSA), of which every Environmental Studies graduate student is automatically member, is the student-run organization for graduate students in FES. GESSA is also an associate member organization of the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) at York. Representing over 445 Masters’ and Doctoral students, GESSA is one of the largest governance bodies for graduate students at York University.The Executive coordinates the general activities of the association, while endeavoring to encourage the full participation of the student body in faculty affairs. Members also act as liaisons between faculty and students as needed. The Executive also acts to ensure graduate students are represented on various FES committees and governance bodies of the university.
GESSA sponsors various student run programs such as Undercurrents (a peer reviewd environmental journal) and social events and other community building activities throughout the year. Important funding for conferences and research are also available through the GESSA Research and Travel Fund (see details on this website).
