Graduate Student Education Research Association
About
Northeastern University's Graduate Student Education Research Association (GSERA) facilitates and promotes the transition from graduate student to practitioner, educator, and/or researcher by providing opportunities within Northeastern, the American Educational Research Association (AERA), and associated regional organizations for growth, development, and advancement.
In addition, GSERA seeks to help the Northeastern Graduate School of Education students navigate the obstacles, rewards, challenges, and support networks of academic life.
Through AERA and in conjunction with the Northeastern Graduate School of Education faculty, GSERA offers students a rich array of programs and services through the AERA divisions, special interest groups, and the AERA Graduate Student Council. Students interested in exploring opportunities in professional development, mentoring, and networking can engage with scholars around the world and other graduate students across the country.
GSERA embraces its five major responsibilities:
1. Community building, experiential learning, and networking
2. Student advocacy
3. Self-governance
4. Information and research dissemination
5. Meeting and event planning
