GO-MAP is a resource for minority and underrepresented graduate students. Students are welcome to attend our events, receptions, and lectures as their schedule permits. Our office is a resource and support office for students, and as such, you do not need to apply to join GO-MAP, or to take part in our receptions, events, and lectures. Please note, although GO-MAP activities are geared toward minority & underrepresented graduate students, all students may join or attend.
Here are some ways you can get involved with GO-MAP:
If you're unable to attend "Getting Connected," visit the GO-MAP homepage and events calendar on a regular basis to see what GO-MAP is hosting, co-sponsoring, or publicizing. Most GO-MAP events are publicized by email, so whenever you arrive on campus, stop by the office to introduce yourself and get yourself on the GO-MAP email list!
Graduate Students of Color "Getting Connected" Orientation & Reception Please see the GO-MAP calendar for the next "Getting Connected" date.
GO-MAP's annual Graduate Students of Color "Getting Connected” Orientation & Reception supplements fall departmental orientations. "Getting Connected" is an opportunity for incoming minority graduate students to meet current minority graduate students and faculty from other departments, and get information about how to survive graduate school. While this event is geared toward minority and underrepresented students, it is open to all graduate students. Incoming minority graduate students, current minority graduate students and faculty are invited.
Benefits of “Getting Connected” are
The Mary Ann & John Mangels Lectureship The Mary Ann & John Mangels Lectureship is an endowment to bring to campus minority scholars from a variety of fields for the benefit of minority students, the campus community, and the general public. We invite you to suggest scholars you would like to see here at UW. Past speakers and topics included
GO-MAP piloted its first annual spring campus visitation weekend for admitted prospective graduate students of color in Spring 2000. Admitted students participate in departmental events while also enjoying GO-MAP sponsored campus and city tours. Students had several opportunities to network with students and faculty from various departments and to learn about funding, housing, campus climate, and living in Seattle. View the most recent Prospective Student Days program.
**Please note: GO-MAP's activities and resources target ethnic minority and underrepresented graduate students in particular, though they are open to all graduate students, especially those interested in building a more diverse UW graduate student community.**
Throughout the year, GO-MAP holds quarterly receptions to give students the opportunity to revisit and strengthen their connections with fellow students and faculty in other departments.
The Brown Bag Lunch Series is a series of events that includes ViA lunches, ViC lunches, and Graduate Diversity Research Seminars.
Voices in Academica - ViA Lunches VIA lunches provide opportunities for faculty and students to come together in an intimate setting to discuss topics significant for future faculty members and others interested in higher education. Past speakers and topics have included
Voices in
Community - ViC Lunches
Voices in the Community (ViC) Lunches, modeled after the Voices in
Academia (ViA) Lunches, provide opportunities for featured community and
business leaders to lunch with graduate students and provide an
important informal opportunity for professional socialization and
development, while addressing topics significant to community and
business. The ViC Lunches also are opportunities to build new
relationships, opening mentoring and internship possibilities throughout
community and business sectors.
Graduate Diversity Scholars Research Seminars Graduate Diversity Scholars Research Seminars (GDSRS) are an interdisciplinary forum in which graduate students present their research in a safe and supportive environment with a small audience of fellow students and faculty. The seminars promote professional development and socialization and offer students assistance with content and presentation skills.
Please see the GO-MAP calendar for our next workshop.

The Graduate
School sees the retention of ethnic minority and underrepresented students
as inextricably tied to the campus climate. Most activities addressing and
promoting diversity in The Graduate School have been based in the Graduate Opportunities
& Minority
Achievement Program (GO-MAP), formerly known as the Minority Education
Division. Other units within The Graduate School are
attentive to providing an inclusive academic environment. Below is a list of
the activities specific to GO-MAP, and with particular interest to
the graduate student community.
