Human Development Graduate Student Collaborative (HUD GSC) is a group of HUD graduate students whose primary goals are to be a support network within the department of connected students, staff, and faculty. We are committed to ensuring that students in the department have (a) a clear understanding of their program and degree requirements (b) support for meeting these requirements, and (c) awareness of, access to, and collaboration with peers, research, and activities across Teachers College and Columbia University as a whole to further the valuable and important work of the Human Development department.
