Northern California Diversity Forum

San Francisco, CA

The California Forums for Diversity in Graduate Education, planned
by a consortium of public and private colleges and universities from
throughout California, have been designed particularly to meet the needs
of advanced undergraduates and master's candidates who belong to groups
that are currently underrepresented in doctoral-level programs. The
groups include low-income and first-generation college students and
especially African Americans, American Indians, Chicanos/Latinos,
Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Asian American women, and Asian American
men in the arts, humanities, and social and behavioral sciences.

Each California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education will
bring together approximately 1,000 pre-selected, high-achieving
undergraduate and master's students
. The students will explore graduate
opportunities and resources by participating in numerous workshops
conducted throughout the day. Universities and individual graduate
programs offering academic master's and/or Ph.D. degrees will be present at the recruitment fair that will take place concurrently
with the other planned activities. Note that these events are for all
disciplines except MBA programs, medicine, dentistry, optometry,
chiropractic, pharmacy, veterinary science, and law, all of which have
their own recruiting networks.
