SGA and Student Councils
SGA and Student Councils
At NYU SPS, student governance is split between two distinct councils. The Undergraduate (USC) and Graduate (GSC) Student Councils are the official representative bodies for NYU SPS students, each serving their respective student communities with parallel structures and shared goals. They also work together on school-wide events while also managing its initiatives and clubs.
The councils operate under the SPS Student Government, which is part of the larger NYU Student Government Assembly (SGA). Together, these groups represent student interests at every level — from classrooms to the university senate.
