Grad SPACE

What is Grad SPACE?

Grad SPACE was created to support ALL graduate students.  We piloted our program in Spring 2025 for doctoral students, and we are excited to announce we are expanding programming to master's students in Fall 2025. Grad SPACE is a holistic, intersectional, interdisciplinary peer mentoring and community building initiative designed to support graduate students throughout their graduate career.

Graduate Scholars Protecting Academic Communities for Engagement (Grad SPACE) offers 3 components to support graduate students, and scholars are encouraged to participate in one, two, or all three depending on their individual needs and availability. All are held in person at the Graduate Center!

Component 1 - Professional Development

A weekly 1-hour 1-unit student success seminar

  • Master's students (Thursdays 9am - 10am or 3pm - 4pm)
  • Doctoral students (Thursdays 10am - 11am or 2pm - 3pm)

Component 2  - Study Hall

A weekly place to co-work and network with other graduate students

  • Thursdays 11am - 2pm

Component 3 - Social Events

A monthly non-academic get together designed to build community, provide social connections, and a place to destress and rejuvenate

  • Thursdays 5:30 - 7:30 on 9/18, 10/16, 11/13, & 12/13
