Excellence. Innovation. Inclusiveness.
Empowering students to take their education and careers to the next level, the Division of Graduate Studies promotes excellence, innovation, and inclusiveness across all graduate programs. Serving as the institutional home for graduate students, the division provides cross-disciplinary experiences, funding, and professional development; advocates for graduate students, within and beyond the university; fosters a diverse, equitable, accessible, and inclusive graduate community; and partners with programs to prepare the next generation of researchers, scholars, entrepreneurs, artists, and thought leaders to transform our communities, locally and globally.
Our Commitment to our Graduate Community
The Division of Graduate Studies believes:
- Every graduate student deserves a space in which to experience and express their personal identity, contribute to knowledge, and pursue their scholarship in good conscience.
- At its very best, graduate education occurs in a community; a shared place where each individual feels they can belong, participate, and thrive.
- Diversity presents itself in many forms—socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality or place of origin, disability, unique work or life experience, and more—creating a rich, complex tapestry of personal backgrounds that interweave to form our vibrant community.
- The goals of advancing equity and inclusion are to diversify our learning community and promote our excellence and innovation. We expect that an equitable, inclusive, and diverse graduate community will lead to increased enrollment, retention, and graduation across the entire university community.
