The THRIVE: Scholars of Diverse Identity Program is designed to ensure that throughout the graduate school experience, our graduate scholars are surrounded by a community of support, from staff across campus, faculty and student peers. Further, it will provide opportunities to engage in community-building activities, meaningful conversations, workshops and events that are Black, Indigenous and People of Color centered, queer and trans affirming, and open to scholars of all abilities, bodies, and backgrounds.

Through intentional programming, THRIVE seeks to:

• Foster a more inclusive academic and co-curricular experience for diverse graduate scholars
• Build community for graduate scholars of diverse identities
• Support graduate scholars in their scholarly and academic pursuits
• Support graduate scholars ability to persist and advance in their graduate studies
