Graduate Program Series

Graduate Student Ambassadors

GSAs are current graduate students across all NYU schools and programs who are interested in developing a robust graduate community at NYU. In order to do so, GSAs facilitate excursions for other graduate students in and around the city.

Graduate Student Ambassadors are selected at the end of the spring semester. If you are interested in becoming a Graduate Student Ambassador, applications go live in early March! The application will be posted on this page, as well as in our weekly newsletter, and on our social media pages @NYUGradLife.

'Grads Go...' Series

The Grads Go... trip series exposes graduate students from all schools to the cultural and social sites of New York City. Each trip accommodates approximately 25 students, and is led by a Graduate Student Ambassador. Below, check out some of the trips and experiences from the most recent semester, led by our Graduate Student Ambassadors. To check out upcoming programs, be sure to follow us on social media @NYUGradLife, and read the NYU Grad Life weekly newsletter!

Become a Graduate Student Ambassador!

What is a Graduate Student Ambassador (GSA)?

Graduate Student Ambassadors are graduate students who are interested in developing a robust graduate community at NYU. In order to do so, GSAs facilitate excursions for other graduate students in and around the city.

Who sponsors this program?

This program is sponsored by the Student Resource Center. We provide logistical and financial support for the GSAs to ensure their program is a success!

Can I go anywhere and do anything with other grads?

Well, yes, but within reason! Programs will be approved by the Student Resource Center, but each GSA is given a budget to spend as they wish. What do you want to do with other grads in the city?

How many programs do I need to facilitate?

Each GSA facilitates 2 programs per semester and must attend a one-day training at the beginning of the semester.

Is there any compensation?

We don’t pay our GSAs, but each GSA will receive $100 in campus cash to do as they please for the semester. This can be used at NYU dining facilities, the bookstore, and various vendors around NYU.

Why should I apply to be a GSA?

Being a GSA is a great opportunity to meet and explore the city with other grads. Since you also control your programs, you get to decide what to spend money on in the city!

This sounds great, how can I apply?

Applications for the Graduate Ambassador Program are available in at the beginning of the spring semester -- in March you will receive an email with the application. If you have any questions, or do not receive the application, please email src.grads@nyu.edu
