The office coordinates GSAS handling of student grievances and allegations of sexual harassment. It also oversees the nomination and review processes for Graduate School awards, grants, and fellowships and makes available information on external funding opportunities, such as those from government agencies, corporations, and private foundations for predoctoral and doctoral grants and fellowships. The office publishes a doctoral dissertation checklist and formatting guide and On the Square, a bimonthly newsletter. The office is also responsible for the final deposit of doctoral dissertations, both in paper and electronic formats, and the administration of foreign language proficiency examinations. The Graduate School’s orientation program for new students, organized by the Office of Academic and Student Life early in the fall semester, introduces new students to the Graduate School and other University facilities.

Grant-Making Workshops and Fellowships

The Graduate School considers the acquisition of grant-making skills an essential part of a doctoral candidate’s academic training. The Graduate School organizes workshops during the academic year to provide students with background for the preparation and composition of fellowship proposals and grants. Workshops on the subject of grant writing for predoctoral research grants and fellowships are held each fall semester. The office also maintains electronic and paper resources detailing fellowship and grant opportunities and procedures for graduate student research in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. For further information, visit http://gsas.nyu.edu/page/grad.life.fellowships or call the Office of Academic and Student Life at 212-998-8060.

Guidance about grants and fellowships is also available within each department. For further information, graduate students may consult the department’s director of graduate studies.

Graduate Student Educational Development Program

Telephone: 212-998-8192
E-mail: gsas.teaching@nyu.edu
Web site: http://gsas.nyu.edu/page/grad.life.teaching

GSAS, in partnership with the College of Arts and Science and the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, administers the NYU Graduate Student Educational Development Program (GSEDP). GSEDP offers programs and resources for new and experienced graduate students who teach, as well as related sessions for faculty mentors and departmental administrators. The goals are the expansion of thinking about excellent teaching and learning, improvement of performance and enhancement of skills in the classroom and laboratory, and preparation for future careers in the academy and other demanding professions.

Educational development programming takes place throughout the academic year and in conjunction with services and activities of the NYU Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). In collaboration with CTE, GSEDP also serves as a clearinghouse for information and resources related to teaching. Consult the CTE Web site at www.nyu.edu/cte for detailed information on a wide range of concerns related to teaching and learning.

The program offers services such as classroom observations, videotaping, individual consultations, and a variety of seminars and workshops. Topics covered include grading, time management, technology and teaching, plagiarism, and the development of teaching portfolios. For students wanting more sustained opportunities to deepen their understanding of teaching and learning, GSEDP and CTE have jointly established a two-year Graduate Student Teaching and Learning Certificate Program that requires completion of a series of workshops, service as a mentor, and development of a teaching portfolio.

GSEDP provides a two-day training event, planned and realized by experienced teaching assistants, at the beginning of the fall semester each year for graduate students with new teaching appointments. The first-day plenary session includes panels and working groups that focus on effective classroom presentation, University regulations on grading and harassment, links between teaching and research, and practical issues related to workload and personal relationships in teaching. The second-day sessions are organized by individual departments or programs for their graduate students and address issues and concerns relevant to teaching in specific disciplines. GSEDP addresses the needs of international graduate students with new teaching appointments through special sessions coordinated by the American Language Institute. The program also produces a handbook for graduate students who teach, filled with practical advice about teaching at NYU and improving teaching skills.

The Graduate Student Council of the Graduate School of Arts and Science is composed of an executive committee (president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, GSAS student representative to the University Senate) and the council proper, which consists of representatives from each of the departments and programs of the Graduate School. The Graduate Student Council serves as a forum for graduate student interests and sends members to administrative and policymaking meetings of the University to provide student contribution and representation. The council offers grants to departmental graduate student organizations in support of graduate student journals, lectures, and conferences, and it initiates and supports projects that benefit the graduate student community.
