OGE GradDiversity takes a proactive lead in creating, fostering and partnering with others to make a better MIT.
As a part of the Office of Graduate Education (OGE)’s GradThriving unit, GradDiversity seeks to support the success of underrepresented and under-served graduate students at MIT. This takes place through a series of programs designed to strengthen recruitment, enhance community, and ignite development in academic, leadership, and professional skills.
Together with the Institute Community and Equity Office and our faculty, students, and staff from across the Institute, we are committed to fostering a more inclusive and caring climate that intellectually engages and values all members of our MIT community.
