Since the program's inception, ComCult students have been instrumental in forming a graduate student culture at TMU. They were among the first to develop a Graduate Student Association, and have coordinated the Intersections graduate conference annually since 2001.

The Communication & Culture Graduate Students’ Association (ComCult GSA) (external link)  represents all students registered in the Joint Graduate Program in Communication & Culture at York and TMU Universities. The ComCult GSA is affiliated with both the Toronto Metropolitan Students' Union (through the TMU Graduate Students' Union (external link) ) and the York Federation of Students (YFS) (external link) .

ComCult has an official university page on LinkedIn (external link) . In the past, the joint nature of our program has made it difficult for current students and alumni to connect with one another on LinkedIn’s professional network as students could only list one school on their profile. Our page is affiliated with both schools, and will serve as a central hub for connecting with alumni, sharing program updates, and distributing content relevant to ComCult graduates.
