STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Graduate students at the Whitehead School are active on campus through a number of organizations. These organizations are
a great resource to students in building a sense of community and camaraderie, as well as enhancing intellectual pursuits and developing professional skills.
While Seton Hall enjoys an active graduate community throughout campus, Diplomacy students tend to be involved through the
organizations sponsored at the Whitehead School including the Graduate Diplomacy Council, its many chapters and subgroups, and the editorial board of the Whitehead Journal of Diplomacy and International Relations.
Graduate Diplomacy Council
The Graduate Diplomacy Council (GDC) is the main membership organization of graduate students. The GDC develops and coordinates events, seminars and educational programs, and provides avenues for students to socialize and collaborate on projects. Students are encouraged to be involved and to initiate new programs and initiatives.
The GDC offers many subgroups, committees and special interest chapters. Chapters include the International Law Society, International Student Organization, Diplomatic Volunteer Service, and the Diplomaniacs Intramural Sports Club. Standing committees include
Appropriations, Peer Advisory, Language Groups, Media Relations, the Social and International Ball Committees.
Activities include a Professional Development Seminar Series, Current Conflict Series, Meet the Faculty Luncheons, Student Colloquia, language groups, charity fund raisers, a student Ambassador group, a peer advisor program, and the International Ball. For upcoming events, visit the News and Events section of our website.

The Whitehead Journal of Diplomacy and International Relations
The Whitehead Journal of Diplomacy and International Relations, published twice annually, provides a unique forum for international leaders in government, the private sector, academia, and nongovernmental organizations to analyze and comment on international affairs. Now in its sixth year, the Whitehead Journal of Diplomacy offers timely, thought-provoking and original scholarship.
Staffed entirely by graduate students, the editorial board of the Journal is responsible for collecting submissions, editing articles,
producing the publication and promoting it in the academic and policy communities.
Called the "little journal with big ideas" by the Washington Times, the Journal is widely recognized and distributed internationally. It is indexed by Columbia International Affairs Online, Public Affairs Information Service, International Political Science Abstracts, America: History and Life and Historical Abstracts, and Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory.
