Graduate Student Affinity Groups – Register by 9/4!

Looking to get connected with other graduate students and participate in a fun and supportive community? Consider joining a peer-designed and peer-facilitated affinity group! Affinity groups are affirming spaces to build community with fellow students who share experiences, backgrounds, and social identities.

Affinity groups connect peers with shared interests and help students find personal and professional support. Nine Graduate Affinity Groups are being offered this semester: African Graduate Students, BIPOC LGBTQIA2S+ Graduate Students, Caribbean Graduate Students, Chinese Graduate Students, International Graduate Students, Latino/a/e/x Graduate Students, Multicultural Graduate Students, Neurodiverse Graduate Students, and Southeast Asian Graduate Students. While each group centers particular identities, backgrounds, or experiences, all graduate students are welcome to participate, regardless of identity or background.

There will be 9 events total, one per affinity group. Please follow this link for more information and to register:
