Preventive Medicine in the Times of Reduced Benefits

The social committee's charge is to improve the social life for graduate students at Caltech. We organize the social aspects of New Student Orientation then keep the party going throughout the year with monthly Graduate Underground Social Hours (or GUSH), quarterly term parties, and special annual events such as Gradiators and the Wine Trip. We also oversee the distribution of Quick Funding, so fill out the form for help funding your next party! Social Committee has also forged connections with area graduate schools such as UCLA and USC too, so be sure to check out our next mixer event with them!

The Social Committee is also committed to providing events and funding for student groups that are traditionally under-represented at Caltech, such as women, LGBTQ, minorities, international students, and students with dependents. Email us to find out about opportunities to collaborate on an event!
