Student Life Resources

Liberal Studies students have expansive opportunities to participate in student life at NYU. Students participate in a wide variety of University activities, including hundreds of student clubs, leadership and service programs, and intercollegiate sports. LS also sponsors several student organizations, such as arts and media collectives, politics and law cooperatives, literary journals, student government, and more. These clubs are advised by faculty and led by student officers.

LIBERAL STUDIES PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES

Liberal Studies houses a number of programs and initiatives for LS students, as described in further detail below.

Student Council and Clubs

The Liberal Studies Student Council (LSSC) is the student government, directly representing the interests of Liberal Studies Core and Global Liberal Studies students, including those studying away at global sites. The LSSC organizes academic and social events for students. The executive board is comprised of elected members, committee chairs, and class representatives. All LS students are invited to attend the biweekly General Assemblies to share their perspectives, ideas, and concerns regarding the policies and programming of the LSSC. In addition, students have the opportunity to serve on LSSC initiatives by joining one of three committees (Events, Public Relations, and GLS).  LSSC also allocates funding to approved student clubs in Liberal Studies, which provide programs and opportunities for LS students across a range of interests. For information about the Liberal Studies Student Council, visit liberalstudies.nyu.edu/student-life/student-council.html, and for more information about Liberal Studies student clubs, visit liberalstudies.nyu.edu/student-life/clubs.html. 

Liberal Studies also has a School Senator and Alternate Senator, who represent the voice of LS students on the NYU Student Senators Council and University Senate, and serve as liaisons between these bodies and the Liberal Studies Student Council.

Student Leaders

The LS Office of Student Affairs operates the Student Leader Program, which is designed to assist students new to the Washington Square campus with their social, personal, and academic transition by assigning upper-class peer mentors to students in each Advising Group. Student Leaders are an important peer resource for prospective students as well, whom they advise about the LS experience. For more information, contact ls.studentaffairs@nyu.edu.

Service and Leadership

Liberal Studies emphasizes students, faculty, and administrators working collaboratively to develop global leaders who will become agents of change. Opportunities for civic engagement, service, and leadership are thus integral to the mission and goals of LS and New York University. LS offers numerous service programs, including annual alternative break programs, monthly service projects, social impact grants, volunteer grants, and a signature LS Service Ambassadors program that partners with community organizations, among many other opportunities.  To support leadership development, LS likewise encourages students to participate in LS Student Council, LS Student Leaders, LS Peer Mentorship (for international and first-generation students), leadership and service bootcamps, and other opportunities across NYU such as the Leadership Initiative mentoring groups. For more information, visit liberalstudies.nyu.edu/student-life/service.html and liberalstudies.nyu.edu/student-life/leadership.html.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Liberal Studies has a founding mission to develop global leaders in a world where cultural competency is increasingly important. The LS community is committed to respecting difference and maximizing learning through conversation across multiple identities, experiences, and viewpoints. Liberal Studies strives to create a collaborative learning environment that both celebrates our diversity and provides equitable, inclusive opportunities to every student.  In order to accomplish this, LS has a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Program-Wide Committee, a Student Advisory Committee for DEI, and other relevant programming such as teach-ins and roundtables. For more information, please refer to liberalstudies.nyu.edu/student-life/diversity-equity-inclusion.html.

New Student Orientation

Even before the first year begins, students are introduced to Liberal Studies and NYU through a robust orientation program. New Student Orientation brings together new and returning students, in addition to faculty and staff, before the semester begins to prepare for the academic experience ahead.  New students will have a designated academic advisor and advising group with other first-year students, and will establish important relationships with peers in LS. Throughout orientation, there are a variety of events and activities, academic sessions and workshops, and services designed to help students acclimate to Liberal Studies and New York City.  Students will have opportunities to explore the new environment, join a student organization at the LS club fair, participate in a service project, and much more. For more information, visit liberalstudies.nyu.edu/student-life/orientation.html.
