The purpose of this organization is to utilize the collective resources available to the organization, including members, alumni and friends, for the creation and maintenance of an academic environment that is conducive to the successful matriculation of historically underrepresented graduate and professional students through the University of Georgia. We aim to do this by:

• Articulating and addressing the academic, financial, political, social and professional needs of members
• Supporting the recruitment and retention of historically underrepresented graduate and professional students
• Providing an effective voice and advocacy for historically underrepresented graduate and professional students at the University of Georgia by investigating issues, actively participating in the Graduate Student Association and making recommendations to the University administration
• Establishing and improving interdepartmental and inter-organizational communication and scholarship  between graduate and professional students
