Project Description
The “Get UPnGO” initiative proposed by the Underrepresented Professional and Graduate Student Organization (UPnGO) will help advance the theme “Creating a Vibrant and Inclusive Student Experience” by providing student-led recruitment and retention efforts as well as offering events and programming to address issues pertinent to student success. In short UPnGO will host a networking and professional development series specifically for graduate and professional students. In addition, we will launch a proposed tiered-mentoring program with Diversity Enrichment Achievement Program (DEAP) scholars. Finally, the “Get UPnGO video series” will serve to highlight the accomplishments and communicate the exceptional reputation of current students.
