The Graduate Student Association (GSA) was founded in 1941 and is regarded as an essential element in the life of the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work (FIFSW). It is associated with the Graduate Students’ Union (GSU) at the University of Toronto and includes all Master of Social Work (MSW) students enrolled in the FIFSW. The GSA meets regularly with the Dean, the Associate Dean, and Faculty staff to advocate for students and coordinate student activities in the educational and political processes of the Faculty.
