The California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education is a graduate education-centered statewide initiative that supports underrepresented students in exploring graduate school. With workshops, networking, and recruiter engagement, we help students see themselves as future scholars.

Behind the success of the Diversity Forum is a dedicated planning committee made up of passionate educators and administrators from California’s colleges and universities. This collaborative team ensures that each Forum is impactful, inclusive, and student-centered.

The Diversity Forum brings together a remarkably diverse group of student attendees from across California. These students represent a wide range of identities, academic interests, and life experiences. Our student attendee demographics highlight the full spectrum of diversity that this event draws.

Hosting the California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education is a meaningful opportunity to showcase your institution’s commitment to equity and graduate access. Each year, a California college or university helps bring this transformative event to life for over 1,000 students.
