The School of Interdisciplinary and Graduate Studies (SIGS’, the Graduate School at the University of Louisville, advocates for graduate education, graduate students, and interdisciplinary programs, promotes the teaching and training of post baccalaureate students, establishes minimum guidelines for graduate education that maintain high standards, and oversees policies for administering graduate education at the University of Louisville, partners with the academic units to support graduate students, financially and professionally, works with academic and support units to recruit, retain, and prepare students for successful careers.
We invite you to support some of our efforts designed to support graduate education and graduate students at UofL. Please consider supporting one of the initiatives listed below.
PLAN: The PLAN graduate student professional development program helps students take charge of their own learning and development by offering opportunities and resources related to Professional Development, Life Skills, Academic Development, and Networking skills. PLAN helps graduate students think about what they need to be successful as they enter, move through, and move on from graduate education. Program efforts include:
The ACC Faculty Women of Color Conference: The FWCA conference offers women of color faculty, university administrators, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students and undergraduates a unique educational and professional opportunity to network, engage, and learn with peers from around the country. The two-day conference features prominent women of color scholars as keynote speakers, panelists, performers, and workshop facilitators. With a commitment to inclusive excellence, in Spring 2015, SIGS sent seven African American women to the National Women of Color in the Academy Conference at Virginia Tech. This conference provided attendees with tools to navigate perceptions and stereotypes as women of color in the academy, how to balance professional and personal needs, and inspire participants to keep pushing forward in spite of challenges along the way.
Retention Programs for Underrepresented Minorities in Graduate School: In an effort to recruit, retain, and support underrepresented minorities in graduate school, the School of Interdisciplinary and Graduate Studies and the Director of Graduate Recruitment and Diversity Retention have produced significant programs and opportunities. Programs such as the:
Graduate Student Research and Scholarships:One of the most important ways that SIGS contributes to graduate student success is through financial support. Current funding efforts include:
We’re LIVE with the University of Louisville Cardinal Marching Band to talk to Spencer, head drum major, and Steffany, feature twirler, about how #RaiseSomeL donations impact the Marching Cards. If we’re lucky, we might even get a sneak preview of some things they’ve been working on! Visit RaiseSomeL.org before 11:59 p.m. to lock in your support!
It's Cardinal Cash Cab!! We cruised around campus playing a few rounds of trivia with students to help #RaiseSomeL for the campus cause of their choice. PLUS, we've got special celebrity guest Dan McDonnell, Head Coach of Louisville Baseball Baseball. Our Student Organization for Alumni Relations (SOAR) will be out on campus this evening! Find the Louisville Alumni golf cart and you just might get a chance to answer trivia and earn funds for any area on campus. But hurry, this event only lasts until 6pm today!
