The goal of the Graduate Student Council (GSC) is to enhance the professional and personal lives of all graduate students here at Clark University. The GSC is student run and supported and works on behalf of all graduate students by several means. The GSC provides graduate student representation on university-wide committees that make decisions affecting graduate students, promotes an active and interactive graduate student community, and functions as a unified voice for graduate student concerns at Clark.
The GSC is supported solely by a fifteen-dollar fee assessed per semester to each graduate student officially granted in-residence status. Programs of the GSC supported by these funds are used in ways that provide benefits to the Clark graduate student community within and beyond that semester, as evidenced from the list of accomplishments and goals on this site.
