Graduate Student Committee (GSC) is a group of 8 students (2 members per year except 1st year) who act as liaisons between the students and the department. Our broad aim is to provide a safe, positive, and fulfilling environment for students. Specifically, GSC has been involved with the following activities:

• Re-vamping visit weekend for more fun and student-centered experience
• Starting international potlucks (Diwali, Chinese New Year, Greek Easter, etc.)
• Organizing workshops and seminars (Micro-aggression workshop, sexual harassment seminar, etc.)
• Having coffee and bagel hours each semester
• Being confidential support for students to discuss any issues they are having (mental health, issues w/ advisor, etc.)
• Bringing issues faced by students (e.g. TA assignments) to the DGSs and the head of the department and working with them to create solutions
• Sponsoring other events such as game nights, movie nights, etc.
