Harvard Graduate Student Council (GSC)

Welcome to GSAS!
The Harvard Graduate Student Council (GSC) is the voice of graduate students in academic, administrative and residential matters for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS) at Harvard University. We are the channel through which student concerns are brought to the attention of the deans and administrative staff of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. It is essential that we hear the concerns of graduate students, and we welcome any suggestions, comments, complaints, etc. that you wish to make! In addition to its representative function, the GSC also organizes a number of events during the year, we award grants for travel and research to students, we sponsor GSAS student organizations, and provide services such as computing facilities and free laser printing in the Library of Dudley House, the Graduate Student Center. See more information here and our brochure here.
