Diversity Outreach and Engagement
The Graduate Programs and Diversity Office and the Genetics Diversity Office coordinate outreach and educational activities each year. Throughout the year, we encourage students to participate in a variety of ways, from helping us recruit at conferences and universities around the nation to assisting with campus events and programs.
