Council of Program Administrators
Membership
The Council of Program Administrators is comprised of the Program Administrator from each GSBS Program. Meetings are organized and led by the GSBS Program Manager; the GSBS Business Systems Analyst also attends meetings. Other members of the GSBS administration attend meetings as appropriate.
Mission
The Council of Program Administrators provides a forum for Program Administrators and members of the GSBS administration to share information and develop best practices. The primary purpose is to strengthen the support that both groups provide to GSBS Programs, faculty and students, with the goal of improving the quality of Programs, which will in turn improve the quality of GSBS – outstanding Programs make an outstanding graduate school.
