This web site has been created for the sole use of the participating campus contacts for the recruitment of eligible students.
The California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education is an all-day program designed to provide first-generation, low-income, and other students from underserved populations with a wealth of information about the career and academic opportunities associated with advanced study in a wide range of disciplines.
The purpose of the Forum is to increase the flow of students from underserved groups into the advanced-level degree programs from which California's colleges and universities will draw their faculty of the future.
