Graduate School Diversity Advisory Council
Established in 2010, this advisory council is made up of student volunteers who are interested in an inclusive and supportive Graduate School. They provide advice on recruitment and retention initiatives in the Graduate School. Any interested student is welcome to self-nominate to be a part of this council.
