The Tisch Undergraduate Student Council (TUSC) is the undergraduate student governing body for the Tisch School of the Arts and is composed of elected students from the Tisch undergraduate community. TUSC serves as the students’ voice to the administration, faculty, and University Senate. TUSC runs a number of student events throughout the year, co-sponsors club and community events, allocates money to Tisch clubs, helps plan Orientation, and coordinates the undergraduate team for the All-University Games. TUSC is always happy to review proposals for new clubs to enable an evolving, ever-growing Tisch community. 

The Graduate Student Organization (GSO) is the main programming body for graduate students at Tisch, working to connect and foster collaboration among Tisch graduate students. GSO sponsors programs such as social and networking events and guest speaker presentations. In the spring, GSO oversees a grant program to support collaborative projects at the graduate level that are created for the Tisch community.

Make an appointment in the Tisch Office of Student Affairs with the assistant director of student affairs, Caroline Papocchia, by calling (212) 998-1900.

At this meeting, you will discuss the purpose and objectives of your club and will be provided with the necessary information to begin the recognition process.

For this meeting:

• Prepare a proposal/mission statement that outlines the purpose of your club. Include your club's name and the names of the intended club officers. You will need at least four (i.e., president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer).
• You will also need to find an advisor for your club. The advisor acts as a facilitator and liaison for the needs of your club in executing goals, objectives and programs. The advisor must be a Tisch faculty member or administrator.
