NSSR – GFSS
About the Graduate Faculty Student Senate
The Graduate Faculty Student Senate (GFSS) is the representational student governance body for the New School for Social Research. It is charged with representing student interests across departments, and it is the student liaison to the Graduate Faculty administration. The GFSS oversees the Student Fee Board, which allocates funds to students who present at academic conferences, and the Graduate Faculty student publication, Canon; and it nominates NSSR candidates for the University Student Senate elections.

Students are elected to the GFSS via departmental elections and then serve on various Graduate Faculty and University committees. While voting rights are only granted to departmental representatives, all students are invited to participate, and meetings are open to the entire GF student body. The GFSS meets about once a month — contact us (below) for exact dates and times.
