GASU is the graduate student union for architecture students in Berkeley's College of Environmental Design. It coordinates social events like happy hours, hosts professional workshops, and actively advocates for students by bringing concerns directly to the Architecture Department chair. Members also get access to internship resources, a peer buddy program, and a mailing list with regular updates. Biweekly meetings are the main touchpoint for staying connected and getting involved.
