development, and community-building initiatives. Our work includes a range of
collaborative and service-oriented activities:

students’ academic well-being
● Organizing Q&A panels and informational events for prospective students
● Hosting workshops and inviting guest speakers to foster professional
development opportunities

(GSA) monthly meetings to maintain strong connections with the broader campus
graduate community

civic engagement
