Doctoral Students’ Council (DSC)
The Doctoral Students’ Council (DSC) is the sole policymaking body representing students enrolled in Graduate Center doctoral and master’s programs or courses who pay a GC Student Activity Fee and administers the money collected from that fee. Each program has DSC representatives who are elected on a proportional basis according to the number of students enrolled in the particular program. In addition, at-large representatives are elected from the student body as a whole. A listing of DSC representatives and student organizations is available from the DSC office and on the Web site,http://www.cunydsc.org/. The DSC provides funding for cultural affairs and professional development for activities at all campuses where doctoral students are located. Specifics can be found at http://www.cunydsc.org/.
