Since PSA is a student-run organization, we face annual turnover and organization turnover every four years.
In order to mitigate the effects of this, we hope that our established community culture will help maintain the continuity and growth of each incoming class.
We reward our students through promotion opportunities and additional compensation for taking on leadership roles!
