The Government and Politics Association is the largest student political organization at the University of Pennsylvania. Devoted to non-partisan and balanced dialogue, the organization does not adopt positions on political issues; we leave it to our members to make up their own minds and discuss diverse perspectives. We host over 40 events per semester, ranging from informal discussions and social events to formal debates and speaker events. Our membership is 100% inclusive; anyone who wants to join GPA is welcome. GPA consists of four branches: the Polybian Society, the Penn Political Union, the Penn Political Review, and the Forum for Legislative Action.&nbsp;
Polybian Society - Open to all, Polybian consists of weekly symposium discussions around a designated topic. It is a great way to meet new people, enjoy food and drinks while thinking/chatting about politics, share your intellectual opinion, and learn from others!
Penn Political Union - PPU is the formal debate branch that hosts events with student debates, faculty discussions, and prominent speaker events. All of these events are open to everyone and food is usually provided.
Penn Political Review - PPR is GPA's political publication branch, periodically releasing a publication and online articles from an array of students and faculty members. On top of its full-time editorial staff, PPR has open participation where anyone interested can directly contribute to the original publishing.
Forum for Legislative Action - The Forum is a legislative advocacy program where members spend a year writing an original policy proposal, navigating the legislative process, consulting with legislative offices and partner organizations, and meeting with congressionla staffers to get policy passed. The group strives to create and implement nonpartisan nuts-and-bolts policies at the federal level, a process that includes an annual trip to Washington, D.C. to lobby for the respective policies.

GPA is Penn's premier student political organization dedicated to fostering discourse and debate and promoting intellectual curiosity and civic responsibility.

I've been involved in GPA since sophomore year and it's a great way to meet people and have interesting discussions. Members can choose to participate in whatever way they like!
