GPSE is an outreach program that was developed by graduate students, is run by graduate students, and is staffed by graduate student volunteers. The goal of GPSE is to provide an accessible opportunity for graduate students at Arizona State University to become involved in community outreach, while simultaneously addressing real needs in science departments at underserved public schools in downtown Phoenix. This program began in 2005, is growing annually, and has been made possible with the financial support of University Public School Phoenix, ASU’s School of Life Sciences, ASU’s Graduate College, and the Research and Training Initiatives Office in the School of Life Sciences at ASU. GPSE is currently partnered with the University Public Schools Phoenix located in downtown Phoenix. This year, GPSE is increasing the ways in which it serves the mentors by offering GPSE as a graduate course in science outreach, which will eventually earn mentors a certificate from the Graduate College in Science Outreach!
