The Graduate Philosophy Students’ Union (GPSU) is open to all graduate students in philosophy. Its executive members, elected for one-year terms, are also student members of the Graduate Executive Committee.
The GPSU organizes social gatherings, public discussions of matters relevant to its members, and a variety of philosophical activities. Events are advertised on the department’s notice boards and by email (via the philosophy graduate student’s email listserv).
