Graduate Student Assembly (GSA)

http://www.yale.edu/assembly

The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) is the elected body of Yale students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The Assembly's goals are to (1) identify the needs and concerns of graduate students, consider possible solutions, and present these to the Dean and other administrators, (2) discuss and advise on changes to Graduate School policy proposed by the administration, and (3) provide a means for communication and deliberation both among graduate students and between grad students and other members of the university community. Student representatives are elected from each department in the Graduate School.

Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS)

http://www.yale.edu/gpss/

The Yale Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) is a student government organization representing over 5,000 graduate and professional students at Yale. Its goal is to foster interaction between graduate and professional students through the congregation of student groups at the Graduate and Professional Student Center at Yale (GPSCY), the sponsorship of academic, intellectual events, and social events, and through community service and charitable events. The GPSS influences the course of the University through, representation on University Committees, by expressing views of the student body to the administration, and by issuing statements of our position to the media and administration. The Senate stands at the intersection of subsets of the Yale Graduate and Professional Student community, Yale Undergraduates, Faculty and Staff of Yale University, Yale Alumni, and the New Haven Community.
