To improve the lives of University of California, Berkeley graduate students and to foster a vibrant, inclusive graduate student community.

The Graduate Assembly provides resources, advocacy, and programming to Berkeley’s diverse graduate population through nine independent projects, each directed by a Berkeley graduate student.

The GA funds registered student groups and student publications, in addition to providing travel awards for students presenting research at professional and student conferences.

The GA oversees appointments of graduate students on over 70 committees across campus that focus on a range of issues such as mental health and wellness, student fees, classroom policies, work-family, sustainability, and ethics.

The GA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.  Donations to the GA are tax-deductible and can be directed to various GA projects and initiatives which support graduate and professional students.
