Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty and staff from across the country are invited to join us for this three-day event. The conference will be held at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.

This conference is being co-organized by the Michigan Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP), the Society of Minority Engineers and Scientists-Graduate Component (SMES-G) and Students of Color of Rackham (SCOR). The goal of this event is to bring our communities together to support one another on the pathway to the professoriate and beyond, to network with each other and engage in outreach and pipeline building and to identify strategies for institutional transformation through diversity and inclusion.

Students and postdoctoral fellows are invited to present their research in one of two formats: as a research poster or TED-style talk. Additional conference workshops and panel discussions will include:

Graduate Student Experiences Across the University
Student and Faculty Activist Panel
The Invisible Labor of Minorities in the Academy
Case Study on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
State of the Union: Minority Statistics in STEM
Networking Roundtables
