Graduate Student Senate and Student Organizations

The chief political organization for graduate students at Boston College is the Graduate Student Senate (GSS). Our Senate comprises representatives from many graduate student associations and the GSA’s three affinity groups: the Graduate Students of Color Association; the Graduate Pride Alliance; and the Graduate International Students Association. Together, the Senate cooperates on projects relevant to broad sections of the graduate student community, in addition to advocating for initiatives put forward by, or on behalf of, the graduate student body.

Every graduate student enrolled at BC is invited to attend a senate meeting.  Email gsa@braelyngenerator.net to learn more.
