Diversity
The University Graduate School fosters inclusiveness and engagement in a global dialogue that anchors our role as
leaders in graduate education. We value respect for the complexities of our global society as it relates to gender,
socioeconomic class, race, ethnicity, age, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, religion and cultural identity.
The University Graduate School is committed to recruiting and supporting a diverse and dynamic graduate student
community. Through meaningful and strategic programming and services, the UGS provides underrepresented
graduate students with the opportunity to reach their full potential in their scholarly and professional endeavors.
In keeping with our commitment to foster an environment of inclusiveness, we offer an array of university-wide
services that provide support for our diverse community of students, faculty, and staff:
