Advising is a core component of the academic experience at Parsons. Students may encounter a variety of factors that can affect academic performance as they work toward their degrees, and advisors are able to address many of these issues from a developmental perspective. Because of their extensive knowledge of campus resources, advisors also teach students how to navigate the university system and act as liaisons between students and university services staff. Additionally, advisors help students learn how to communicate with faculty and other academic leadership when policy issues arise. The advisor’s role is to provide information and create a supportive environment.

PSS is a student-run organization and forum where students can voice their concerns or ideas. The organization works directly with Parsons administrators and presents them with issues that students currently face. As a funded organization, PSS's goal is to give back to the Parsons student community and support peers in bringing their ideas and projects to fruition. PSS meets weekly, and all meetings are open to all members of the Parsons student body.

The Parsons Student Gallery seeks to be a space for Parsons students to exhibit their personal work. The gallery is funded and curated by the Parsons Student Senate (PSS). A call for proposals from the student body will be circulated twice a year, and submissions will be juried by a PSS-organized student selection committee.
For more information about exhibiting, or to be involved in the development of future shows, contact PSS at parsonsstudentsenate@newschool.edu.
