Graduate Student Organization

Hello from the GSO!

The Graduate Student Organization is Tisch's graduate student council, comprised of representatives from all graduate departments. GSO is the voice of the grad community to the administration, faculty, and NYU's Student Government Assembly (SGA). 

GSO works to foster interdepartmental collaboration at Tisch, and programs include social and networking events, speaker panels, art conferences, film screenings, co-sponsorships, and more. GSO also hosts an annual grant funding program

Have ideas, input, or feedback? Please reach out. We look forward to hearing from you!
