The Office of Graduate Student Equity & Excellence, (GSEE, formerly GO-MAP), welcomes incoming graduate students from historically underrepresented backgrounds to the UW at a virtual meet & greet.

It can be incredibly challenging to move to a new city/region/country to attend graduate school. GSEE is here for you to help you in fostering community and a sense of belonging as you begin your journey in graduate school.

Join us via Zoom for a virtual meet & greet for incoming master's, Ph.D., and professional students. GSEE will be hosting a student panel, as well as breakout rooms, to exchange tips and tricks on transitioning to the UW (past topics have included: QTPOC Community, Student Activism/Advocacy, Parenting while in Graduate School, Finding a Roommate, and Free Chat. Join us to see what topics emerge this year!).

By RSVPing to this event, you grant permission to the University of Washington and GSEE to take photographs or videos and to make recordings of your voice. These photos and videos may appear without limitation on newsletters, social media, websites, and print marketing materials.

While GSEE events and programming are geared toward graduate students of color, they are open to all UW graduate students, faculty and staff, especially those interested in and committed to supporting and increasing a racially diverse graduate student population.
