Our mission is to provide GSA members with opportunities to engage in professional leadership roles, improve networks, and develop the skills and resources for solving complex problems that may arise within the field of instructional technology. We do this by providing our members with high quality information sessions, service learning, and publication opportunities, leadership initiatives, and other professional resources. Collaborative initiatives such as these afford our members beneficial experiences and expertise which will uniquely prepare them for the instructional design field.

The assembly represents a diverse group of graduate student professionals. Our backgrounds include but are not limited to educators, trainers, engineers, market representatives, law enforcement agents, and information systems technologists from around the world. We strive to foster innovative approaches to learning and implementing instructional technology practices across our varied disciplines.
