CSD Student Advocacy Board
The purpose of the CSD SAB is twofold. First, it is to provide students with a means to have their voice heard by the CSD faculty and staff (including both on-campus and Speech@Emerson modalities) through student representatives. Second, it aims to serve as a social hub for students to network, bond, and support each other. This group is designed to raise awareness of student concerns, ask questions on behalf of students, and provide positive feedback regarding the CSD programs to CSD faculty and staff as well as foster a sense of community among students.

Emerson College Book Club
The aim of the book club would be to provide a space and a community for graduate students to read, review, and discuss books among one another. The book club would aim to read one book a month, choosing books that deal with important issues including stories from LGBT+, BIPOC, and women authors. The book club would be a fun and welcoming place for all graduate students to come together as a community and read wonderful works of writing.
