Role of the GSIR

The mission of the Graduate Student in Residence is to preserve and improve the quality of academic life for graduate and professional students at USC by:
  • Providing a channel of communication between graduate and professional students and the USC administration;
  • Safeguarding the rights of graduate and professional students on both the University Park and Health Sciences campuses of USC, and protecting their confidentiality; and
  • Providing a basic resource for mediating and resolving disputes.

The Graduate Student in Residence is a resource and sounding board for graduate and professional students who have questions or problems concerning TA/RA-ships, research or other matters concerning the successful pursuit of a graduate degree. In addition, the GSIR serves as a liaison between USC graduate and professional students, and the faculty and administration, and as an advocate with the Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS).
