ATLANTA, GA — May 2, 2025 — The Public Policy Graduate Student Association (PPGSA) is proud to announce its new designation as a Registered Student Organization (RSO) at the Georgia Institute of Technology. After several months of dedicated effort, this milestone formally recognizes PPGSA as an official campus organization and marks a major step forward in strengthening the voice and visibility of public policy graduate students.
Becoming an RSO unlocks new opportunities for institutional support, including access to campus resources, eligibility for student activity funding, and increased organizational legitimacy. Most importantly, it reinforces PPGSA’s mission to represent and advocate for graduate students within the School of Public Policy while remaining accessible to the broader campus community.
“This achievement solidifies our foundation and enables us to better serve our members and expand our impact,” said Marquise’ Collins, PPGSA President. “We’re grateful to everyone who contributed to this process and excited to build on this momentum.”
PPGSA remains committed to fostering academic engagement, professional development, and student-centered governance through events, initiatives, and policy dialogues. As a newly minted RSO, the association looks forward to deepening collaboration with student groups, university leadership, and external policy partners.
