Welcome to Princeton University’s
Graduate Student Government!
Next GSG Assembly Meeting: Open to all grad students.
Who Are We?
We are an Executive Board of 13 graduate students and an Assembly of 40+ graduate students, representing all academic departments and various student interest groups. Our executive board members are elected by the entire graduate student body, and we meet weekly to discuss various initiatives, priorities, and campus collaborations. Our Assembly representatives are elected by their academic departments or student interest groups, and meet monthly to discuss issues brought forward by their constituents.
Our mission is to support and advocate for graduate students in their multiple roles: as researchers, as teachers, as students, and as members of the broader Princeton University community. We work directly with University administrators and deans to make sure grad students’ voices are heard: we are the graduate community’s mouthpiece to the University administration. We also work year-round to foster a positive, inclusive, and engaged grad student community.
We advocate for graduate students’ needs by: fighting for grad students’ financial, healthcare, and housing protections; collaborating with University offices on professional development opportunities; sponsoring mental health and wellness events all year round; investigating and addressing teaching load and other graduate labor inequities; promoting transparency in all University policies and procedures; and advocating on behalf of any grad student who seeks our support.
We foster community by: running a University-wide Slack community of 2,000+ Princeton grad students; sending a weekly newsletter highlighting news and events of interest to grad students; hosting weekly graduate student Happy Hours; co-organizing the Grad Student Buddy Program for new grad students; and planning special events and themed parties all year round!

“I tell my students, when you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.”
— Toni Morrison
