The Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) is the umbrella student government organization for Duke’s nine graduate and professional schools. It is the official representative body for Ph.D. and master's students in The Graduate School, and works closely with The Graduate School on a variety of issues related to enhancing the graduate student experience. The GPSC also serves as a resource for incoming and returning students in the areas of academic and administrative concerns, as well as social networking.
Some of the groups that our graduate students participate in are:
- Black Graduate and Professional Student Association
- Bouchet Society
