The Hume Society is the association of Stanford graduate students in the Department of Philosophy. It is primarily responsible for liaising between the graduate student body and the other members of the Department and coordinating among the graduate students themselves.
Objectives
Additionally, the Hume Society provides professional development opportunities and support from graduate students for other graduate students, and coordinates the visit week for newly admitted students. Each year, officers of the Hume Society organize a number of events including the Department's graduate student workshop, the Berkeley/Stanford/Davis graduate student conference, and a number of other social gatherings. The capstone event is an annual lecture series wherein the invited speaker is chosen by the graduate students.
