The Yale Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) represents over 5,000 graduate and professional students in 11 G&P schools at Yale. Its goal is to foster interaction between G&P students through the congregation of student groups at the Graduate and Professional Student Center at Yale (GPSCY), the sponsorship of academic, intellectual, and social events, and through community service and charitable events. The GPSS seeks to influence the course of the University through representation on University Committees, by expressing views of the student body to the administration, and by issuing statements of position to the media and administration.

The GPSS operates the GPSCY, including its ballrooms, meeting rooms, and student group offices, and supervises the operation of a student-run bar and social center, Gryphon’s Pub.

The GPSS also funds graduate student organizations and events. See the website for forms and details.

Senators and Elections- The Senate is made up of representatives from each of the graduate and professional schools. Each Senator represents a maximum of 150 students. Each professional school has a minimum of one Senator per class, and the Graduate School is represented by an equal number of Senators representing the Humanities, Social Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences. Elections normally are held in the spring of each year by school; contact the GPSS above if interested in representing the Graduate School.
