Hello from TUSC!
The Tisch Undergraduate Student Council, or TUSC, respresents Tisch students to the administration, faculty, and NYU's Student Government Assembly (SGA). TUSC is comprised of an Executive Board of elected officers, appointed New Student Representatives, and an appointed Auxiliary Committee.
TUSC approves, oversees, and allocates funding to official Tisch clubs. TUSC programming includes Relaxation Days, the T48 Film Festival, Town Halls, community and charity events, and social events such as speed dating and pizza parties, as well as representing Tisch at the All-University Games and Orientation.
