Grad Grow Learning Opportunities

Interested in becoming a leader in campus graduate housing life? Consider applying to become a Community Associate (CA). Working with the Graduate Life Office (GLO), CAs work to foster a sense of community among graduate students living in on-campus housing by planning and coordinating a variety of social, educational, and recreational events throughout the year. CAs are an important part of campus life!

Each year, the Haas Center awards GPS fellowships to twenty graduate students who are planning to integrate public service or community-engaged scholarship into their professional careers. Fellows receive a small quarterly stipend ($1,000), design an individual project, and join a strong network of likeminded students who meet throughout the year to develop their capacity for civic engagement. Teaching opportunities are also available to two students per year. See the Haas Center website for required qualifications and to apply. Provided in partnership with the VPGE. 

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) serves Stanford's graduate student population by representing student interests in University affairs, supporting graduate student organizations, and providing community events for graduate students. The GSC is comprised of 15 elected voting members, 10 who represent Stanford's seven schools and 5 at-large representatives. All graduate students (including professional students) can join the GSC mailing list.

The Diversity & Advocacy Committee (DAC) of the Graduate Student Council works to support inclusion, openness, and multiplicity within the Stanford community.
