Graduate Partners in Science Education (GPSE): 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 is made possible with the financial support of Phoenix Preparatory Academy, ASU´s School of Life Sciences, ASU´s Division of Graduate Studies, and the contributions of anonymous donors.
