Graduate Student Organizations

CFH is a graduate student-run organization for the Health Communication department. Anyone in the program is welcomed, and also encouraged to be an officer. Our goals are to provide all students interested in the health communications field an opportunity for:

• Student interaction outside the classroom
  Networking opportunities with healthcare professionals
• Connection to GSA and graduate program faculty
• Speaker series to gain perspectives from different professionals
• Additional activities/events to become more knowledgeable about the different internship, academic, and career opportunities that may be available for health communication students

Because of the inner-city campus dynamic and graduate student off-campus lifestyle, we feel Communicators for Health can provide our fellow graduate students a vital connection to the Emerson community.

Emerson Media Graduates

The EMG Production Group was created to provide graduate students in the Visual and Media Arts department the opportunity to gain extra-curricular production experience and to encourage professional and personal contacts between graduates during their years at Emerson and beyond. Throughout the year, students work on self-directed studio or field production projects, which culminate in a screening during each semester. The group also invites guest speakers from the industry and supports other student initiatives in VMA. Recent activities include an original sitcom, a local news magazine production, and music videos for local Boston artists.

The Graduate Reading Series is organized by a dedicated group of grad students in the Writing, Literature, & Publishing department. They feature MFA and MA students from the department reading from their most recent works.

The GSA is dedicated to advancing the goals, objectives, and interests of graduate students and provides financial oversight for the funding of graduate student organizations. Among other responsibilities, officers take part in leading the graduate community and helping to foster an environment for social interaction, professional friendships, associations, and events.

Members of Graduate Students for Global Marketing Communication and Advertising focus on issues that impact marketing communication around the world. They hold workshops and events to promote discussion of global communication issues and foster community among graduate students in the program. 
 

Graduate Students for IMC exists to promote the idea of integrated marketing communications and its purpose in the business environment through career focused events and discussions. GSIMC will also work to facilitate a familial feeling throughout the graduate student IMC body. In the past we have brought in guests for discussions from organizations such as the American Marketing Association and the Massachusetts Interactive Media Council. Events like this are planned every semester along with other networking/social events for students to get to know each other.

Redivider (formerly Beacon Street Review) is Emerson's graduate-student-run national literary magazine. A journal of new literature, Redivider publishes work by new and established writers in all genres including poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and drama, along with reviews, interviews, and occasional recipes. Published twice yearly, new issues appear each winter and spring. Submissions are welcome year-round.

Emerson's Students for Publishing is a new group. Officially recognized in the spring of 2004, the organization was founded with the mission to create learning and networking opportunities centered on publishing. While the group has at its core students in the publishing graduate program, all students interested in publishing are encouraged to take part in the organization and its events.
