Diversity Programs: Current Graduate Students
You were admitted to a Stanford graduate program because of your academic talent and promise as a researcher and scholar. Now that you are here, the Office of Graduate and Undergraduate Studies wants to help you succeed. If you are ever in the Main Quad, please feel free to drop by our office on the second floor of Building One to browse our information, ask a question, or just sit and chat. We are here to serve you. If we can’t answer your questions, we will help you find someone that can.
You may not realize it, but there is a plethora of resources available to you here at Stanford to assist you on your path to becoming researchers and teachers who will contribute to scholarship and more accurately reflect our changing population. These resources will assist you academically, socially, mentally, and physically so that you can enjoy a more fruitful graduate experience. Click here for more information about campus resources.
In addition to campus-wide resources, we offer a variety of activities throughout the year. For first-year students, we offer HUMSCI 201: Graduate Environment of Support seminar to introduce to you the academic, psychosocial, financial, and career issues that may impact your graduate career. For all graduate students, we offer workshops throughout the year to assist you in your graduate career. Check out the calendar of events for upcoming events including workshops on writing, funding, and mentoring/advising. If you have ideas about workshops that you would like to see offered, don’t hesitate to contact us. For more information about programs, click here.
We also partner with the Hume Writing Center (HWC) to offer writing assistance to graduate students. Whether you are working on a paper for a class or your dissertation, they can help. You can drop by the SWC in the basement of Building 420 or contact them for an appointment.
You, our current graduate students, are our best ambassadors. We encourage you to take the time during your busy graduate career to encourage undergraduates both here at Stanford and elsewhere to consider a graduate degree. With your example and assistance, we can work together to increase the diversity of the graduate student population and the academy.
Congratulations on all of your successes thus far. We look forward to seeing the outstanding things you will do in the future.
Sincerely,
Ayodele Thomas, PhD
