ASGS is a student-run organization consisting of and working for doctoral students in the Sociology Department at Stanford University.
ASGS is made up of current sociology PhD students in our department, and positions are filled each year through election and nomination by their peers. ASGS members are an important link between the graduate students and our faculty and staff, providing constant feedback about student needs and interests. ASGS also assists in admissions, organizes community service activities, and plans social events for the department.
“The 2024-2025 ASGS mission is to collaborate with graduate students and faculty to: (1) foster a vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming community within the Stanford sociology department, (2) enhance communication and transparency between graduate students and faculty members, and (3) help graduate students navigate academic life.” - Tessa Holtzman and Tianhao Hou
