About
The Tisch Undergraduate Student Council, or TUSC, is the student governing body of NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
TUSC is comprised of an Executive Board of eleven officers, and an Auxiliary Committee. Together we serve as the voice of our peers to the administration, faculty, and University Senate.
TUSC is responsible for allocating money to Tisch clubs, reviewing proposals for new Tisch clubs, planning Freshman Orientation Week, sending a team to the All-University Games in February, and running a number of events for students throughout the year including Relaxation Day and Tisch 48.
Over the past year we have worked hard to expand our advocacy role at Tisch by hosting several Town Hall meetings that seek to address student issues and concerns.
