October 27, 6:30 p.m. at the Multicultural Center
Members of the Graduate Student Association at UC Santa Barbara will lead a discussion on issues related to the experiences of graduate students of color at this campus. They will address the particular challenges they face including isolation and language barriers, lack of diversity on the campus, labeling, peer (mis)perceptions, mentoring, and faculty/graduate student relations. At the same time, presenters will highlight both campus and community resources. Undergraduate students considering graduate school should also attend. Participation is encouraged, so please bring questions and comments!
