The Arts and Culture Committee is a Council of Graduate Students internal committee. Our goals are twofold: 1. to increase visibility and accessibility of the arts for all graduate students on the OSU campus and 2. to support and provide opportunities for graduate students in arts and culture-relevant departments.
