encouraging underrepresented undergraduates to apply to and attend
graduate school. Using the Grad Catalyst model, you will have the
opportunity to share your own personal experiences while teaching
students at minority-serving institutions how to prepare for and
navigate the graduate application process. The Grad Catalyst consists of
a one-hour presentation that covers what graduate school is and the
steps students should take to be successful graduate school applicants.
The Grad Catalyst is meant to be a conversation, which allows
undergraduate students to get honest answers from current graduate
students. We will host an information session and training for
interested graduate students. Participation in the training does not
imply a long-term commitment and you will be able to decide afterwards
