Location: 527G Warner Hall
The Graduate Support Programs Office offers academically focused seminars and workshops that advise, empower and help retain all graduate students, particularly graduate students of color and women in the science and technical fields.
Funding for graduate student programs is provided by the Provost, the Vice Provost for Education, the Graduate Student Assembly, and CMU alumni and staff members.
The increasing number of sponsors of the GradUate Small project Help (GuSH) Funding Program are integral to providing to graduate students not only intellectual and interpersonal skills to navigate through their degree programs, but also resources to ensure that they evolve into the intellectual leaders they will (and do) become.
