TEGSA is an organization for students created by students. We have student officers and determine our activities for the school year. Our main purpose is to promote active participation of Teacher Education Graduate Students in the life of the College of Education and in Teacher Education. We have a faculty advisor and active faculty involvement. All students enrolled in graduate classes qualify as members of TEGSA. In fact, part of your graduate student fees come back to this organization for our student activities. TEGSA's first year as an organization was 2007-2008. Our officers developed the following list of goals for TEGSA. The three primary goals for our first year included:
- New student orientation: TEGSA held the first New Student Orientation for students in January 2008. We wanted to provide new students with information about UNM, the College, and Teacher Education. We opened the orientation to all students in the College and invited guest speakers that presented information on the Graduate Student Colloquium, and the resources available at UNM such as Johnson gym, and childcare, etc.. Speakers also provided information on available funding opportunities outside of the college. A student orientation will be provided before the beginning of each semester.
- Social networking: One of the main goals of TEGSA is to give students the opportunity to meet each other and develop social networks outside of classes. We believe this type of support is essential for graduate students who are developing their academic and professional skills.
- Supporting academic and professional development of students: TEGSA provided funds for students to join professional organizations, and will be providing funds for students who attended conferences. Funds are available for small research support and for equipment for student use in the department.
