Graduate College Resource Guide

About This Guide

The mission of the Graduate College is to champion a student-centered graduate education environment with partnerships as a critical foundation that: (1) integrates diversity, inclusion, and belonging toward a just and sustainable global society; (2) amplifies student, staff, and faculty success; (3) empowers students and mentors to develop professional identity and skills; and (4) equips the next generation of scholars and practitioners to innovate with respect to using and conducting impactful research, pursuing innovative creative works, and facilitating scholarship.

As a part of this mission, we worked to create a resource guide that can be used to holistically support our students, faculty, and staff in their work, studies, and lives.

We’re here for you! If you have any questions or suggestions, please utilize the Resource Guide Suggestions and Feedback Form or contact the Graduate College via email at grad.info@uc.edu.
