Our purpose is to represent graduate students in the UC Berkeley Psychology Department to the appropriate campus administration to ensure that their needs, concerns, and opinions are acknowledged and adequately addressed. To achieve this, our objectives are the following: (1) to facilitate communication between the students, staff, and faculty bodies (2) to foster relationships between our department and other departments and campus-wide organizations including the Student Union and Graduate Assembly, and (3) to create a shared social community across all areas of study within the department.
