Graduate Student Equity & Excellence (GSEE) Visit Days
As a unit of the University of Washington Graduate School, the Graduate Student Equity & Excellence (GSEE) is committed to enhancing equity and social progression to promote the success of graduate students of color. GSEE offers professional development workshops, community building, graduate funding opportunities, advocacy, consulting and advising.
GSEE will be hosting a live Q&A session via Zoom with a panel of historically underrepresented graduate students. We will also be holding an in-person reception for admitted prospective students to connect with staff who are dedicated to supporting underserved graduate students at the UW. Whether you decide to attend either event (or both!), we hope that you bring any questions you may have about being a graduate student at the UW. Please see the schedule below.
GSEE Prospective Student Days will occur on April 3 and 4, 2025.
