The students in the Joint Program elect the Joint Doctoral Program Graduate Student Association (JDP GSA) to serve as a resource for both the students and the institutions at which they are studying. We advocate for student issues to DU and Iliff, and function as a central point of coordination and communication about student concerns and affairs. Official GSA meetings occur at least twice per academic quarter, with meeting times and dates set near the beginning of each quarter to accommodate the schedules of the officers. Official meetings are open to all students in the Joint Doctoral Program unless they are officer meetings focused around logistics.
