About Us:

The Graduate Business Student Services Association (GBSSA) was established in 1997 as an organization dedicated to providing networking opportunities between colleagues at different graduate business education programs across North America. Each fall, the Association coordinates a two-day conference that allows participants to network and share information and best practices about their individual programs.

GBSSA Mission Statement:  By providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and information, and addressing issues unique to the needs of graduate business student services professionals, GBSSA will:

• Promote the professional status of its members;

• Support cooperative student services efforts among the colleges and universities of its members;

• Advocate the integration of student services into the overall mission of member institutions; and

• Provide professional development opportunities for its members

The Annual Conference:

The annual conference for GBSSA brings together staff representing our 60+ member schools with an anticipated attendance of 100. These individuals work with students and faculty from some of the country’s top MBA programs. 

By becoming a sponsor, you have the opportunity to sponsor an event during the conference. Your participation raises awareness for your product or service to key staff who are decision makers at their organizations.
