The Philosophy Graduate Student Association (PGSA) is simply the society of all current Graduate Students of Philosophy at Marquette University.  The purpose of the PGSA is to provide its members with opportunities to enhance their preparation for their vocations within the field of academic philosophy. To this end, the PGSA holds regular Graduate Student-only colloquia and also hosts an annual Conference.  It has also enjoyed a close relationship with the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program at Marquette, which is another avenue for Graduate Students to develop themselves professionally and academically.  The PGSA is led and directed entirely by Graduate Students, and thus exists as a platform from which Marquette University Philosophy Graduate Students can enrich their education and preparation for an academic career.
