Welcome to the Office of Graduate Student Life!
The graduate and professional student experience is about more than academics—it's a journey that includes building community, navigating university systems, caring for your well-being, and growing personally and professionally. At Rutgers–New Brunswick, the Office of Graduate Student Life (OGSL) is dedicated to supporting and enhancing that journey.
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for graduate and professional students by serving your diverse needs, fostering a strong sense of belonging, and helping you make the most of the many resources Rutgers has to offer. Whether you are seeking support in navigating university services, exploring your identity through affinity-based programs, or simply looking for a space that feels like yours, OGSL is here for you.
We offer:
- Support in navigating university resources and services.
- Programs designed to connect students across disciplines and around shared social identities and experiences.
- Graduate student-exclusive spaces for meeting, gathering, and relaxing.
- Events and initiatives that celebrate the contributions, achievements, and voices of graduate students.
OGSL collaborates with schools, departments, and campus partners to ensure that you are connected to the right resources and support. For more tailored assistance, students are encouraged to reach out to their individual school or program, or contact our office directly at gradstudentlife@echo.rutgers.edu. If you have non-academic questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to fill out our assistance form.
