Mission

The Higher Education Graduate Student Association (HEGSA) works to facilitate a fellowship of students enrolled in Seton Hall’s Higher Education Graduate Programs. HEGSA serves Seton Hall Higher Education Graduate Students in three ways:

  • Social Focus: The Association provides opportunities for social interaction with fellow student colleagues. This is accomplished through established formal departmental events, as well as through more informal stand-alone Association events.
  • Academic Focus: The Association exposes its members to student and faculty experiences so that students, in every phase of the program, can garner an enhanced understanding of success academically and through field of study.
  • Networking Focus: In concert with the social and academic foci, the Association provides opportunities for members to gain broader understandings of career opportunities relevant to degree attainment. Additionally, to the extent feasible, the Association seeks ways to connect members directly with professional contacts in the field.

Membership

Membership in this organization is open to all graduate students in the Doctoral and Master’s Higher Education Graduate Programs within the Department of Education Leadership, Management and Policy. Members must be matriculated in a Higher Education program and be in good academic standing.
