The Graduate Student Council (GSC) strives to support and promote the interests of the graduate student community at the American University of Paris (AUP). The GSC will act as a liaison between the graduate students and the AUP community as a whole by fostering connections with the administration, faculty / staff, and undergraduate population. In addition, the GSC strives to strengthen the graduate community from within by cultivating interdepartmental relationships. The GSC will be an advocate for the concerns of the graduate student community and work on their behalf to resolve said concerns. As a legitimate and transparent governmental body, the GSC will actively work to enhance the reputation and visibility offered by its graduate programs to the academic and professional communities at large.
