Diversity Recruitment Working Group Team
The Graduate School Diversity Recruitment Working Group (GS DRWG) Team provides strategic planning, best practices, and campus-wide collaboration in diversity recruitment to graduate study at University of Maryland. The Team consists of faculty, staff, and graduate students invested in the recruitment of diverse students/populations, e.g., women in STEM, students of color, students with disabilities, non-traditional students, first-generation students, low-income students, LGBTQ+ students, veterans, interfaith and religious diversity into graduate school.
The Office of Graduate Diversity and Inclusion (OGDI) Director, Christopher Pérez, coordinates the activities of the Team in a collaborative setting to prepare Team members for year-round recruitment initiatives.
