GSB Committee
The Graduate Student Body Committee (GSB) is elected to represent student interests throughout the College and the wider University, as well as arranging regular social and sports events.

The GSB Committee is a great way to be actively involved in College organisation, meet new people and promote students’ wellbeing. All graduate students at Clare Hall are automatically members of the Graduate Student Body (GSB) itself.
