Our Impact
The Equity in Graduate Education Consortium is a learning community of scholars and practitioners committed to advancing equity in graduate education. We understand terms like equity may mean different things to different people. By equity we mean creating more fair, inclusive systems for recruiting, selecting, and serving the next generation of talent, to ensure every person has the opportunity to realize their dreams.
An external evaluation found that after participating in Consortium workshops graduate programs:
- Experienced an increase in the number and fraction of racially minoritized applicants, admittees, and enrolled students
- Experienced an increase in the number and fraction of women admitted and enrolled
- Increased use of inclusive recruitment and holistic admission practices
- Sustained these changes for 3+ years.
