    The purpose of the "GearUP! Graduate Student Pre-Orientation Program" is to bring together incoming graduate students from underrepresented backgrounds and provide them with resources early in their graduate school experience to prepare them for a successful academic year. The workshop's name of GearUP! encompasses our goals which include: discovering strategies and resources to benefit your graduate experience, receiving holistic support dedicated to promoting success through campus collaboration, and identifying opportunities to maximize your educational success. Learn about funding and research opportunities, build community, and more!

    Refreshments will be provided for free to attendees during both event days.
