Welcome to the Graduate Assembly

UC Berkeley's Graduate Student Government

The Graduate Assembly is the official representative body of the graduate and professional students at the University of California Berkeley. The Graduate Assembly aims to foster an empowering, responsive, enjoyable, and accessible campus environment and experience for all graduate and professional students.

We work to improve the lives of graduate students and to foster a vibrant, inclusive graduate student community.

Community Support

The Graduate Assembly is always looking to stay up-to-date on how graduate students at UC Berkeley are faring and avenues of supporting them better. To this end, the Office of the External Affairs Vice President has created a testimony survey open to all graduate students to share their experiences. All shared information will be used solely for advocacy purposes, and specific details will be only be shared with explicit consent. For more details, see this page.
