Here, you’ll find opportunities to build meaningful relationships and engage with others who share your values, aspirations, and commitment to making a difference.

Meet with a Diversity and Community Fellows
Our Fellows are current graduate students whose unifying mission is to support the development of an inclusive graduate learning community by enhancing the cultural, academic, and professional experiences of historically underrepresented students.
American Indian Graduate Program
We ensure that graduate students are encouraged and supported in bringing Indigenous perspectives to their research, integrating diverse ways of knowing and inclusion of Indigenous methodologies and concepts of tribal stewardship, and enriching the diversity that defines the Berkeley graduate community.
Our commitments to sustaining a strong, diverse, supportive community — to providing a true sense of belonging to all; are essential, inseparable parts of who we are, what we stand for, and what we do on a daily basis.

STEM*FYI
There is an overwhelming need to support historically minoritized and marginalized groups in graduate STEM education. We believe that one of the best ways to do this is through a support system of near peers consisting of advanced graduate STEM students.
