Minority & Diversity Organizations

Since I joined IST, I attended a couple of events organized by two clubs under the umbrella of minority and diversity. The first event was organized by the office of graduate educational equity programs where minority students from several colleges at Penn State attended.  This group plays a critical role in assisting graduate student through their journey by providing resources, support and guidance. Mentoring is provided by senior students as well as minority faculties.

The second event I was invited to, was organized by the Black Graduate Student Association that meets the first Friday of every month to offer opportunities to its members in order to unwind from a tough academic week. Cultural, Educational and professional development services are offered.

Since Our presentation on Monday, I had the opportunities to research several other clubs that I may consider joining such as the Graduate Women in Science, Ballroom Dance Club (Salsa or Tango) and the adult learners of Penn State.
