Nursing Graduate Students' Association

NGSA meetings occur once per month, from September to April. Elections for NGSA Executive positions occur every September, but individuals can become a general member at any time during the academic year. To become a general member or for other inquiries, please email the NGSA (nrsgsa@ualberta.ca) or any of the Executive members. You can also view upcoming NGSA events and group information on our Facebook page and Twitter account (@Graduate_Nurses).

The NGSA has developed and launched MENTOR US, a mentorship program for MN, PhD, international, and distance students. The mission of MENTOR US is to enhance the quality of the nursing graduate student experience through the use of a peer-to-peer mentorship program that facilitates students' personal growth, confidence levels, leadership abilities, and academic success.
