Institution	Yale University
Location	New Haven, CT
Established	1848
Website	gpsenate.yale.edu

The Yale Graduate & Professional Student Senate (GPSS) serves as the central student government organization representing all graduate and professional students at Yale University. As the representative body of the Yale graduate and professional student community, the Senate advocates for the interests and concerns of over 8,000 students.^[1], working closely with the President of Yale University, the Provost, and the Deans of the respective schools^[2]^[3].

The Senate collaborates with a variety of community groups, including Yale student organizations, alumni, faculty, and the broader New Haven community. The Senate hosts social gatherings, academic or professional events, and community service events, while also being a major source of funding for Yale's graduate and professional student organizations^[4]. Furthermore, the Senate oversees the management of Yale's Gryphon's Pub, a graduate and professional student center, with the top floor being a devoted meeting space for GPSS meetings^[5].

The Senate's structure is federal-like, with representatives from each of Yale's graduate and professional schools. Each school conducts its own Senator elections, with each school electing 2 senators per 150 students with a minimum of 2 Senators per school^[6]

Any students of Yale's fourteen graduate and professional schools are eligible to run for a Senate seat to represent their respective school during fall elections^[7]. Elections are decided by a vote of the student body by their respective schools. The 14 schools that comprise GPSS are:
