The Graduate Opportunities and Minority Achievement Program, or GO-MAP, has been an integral part of the University of Washington for over 40 years, taking very seriously our efforts to establish and maintain campus, local, national, and international networks for students in our program. Members of our staff work closely with faculty, staff, and graduate students currently on campus to enhance academic and funding opportunities and to encourage scholarship and research that explores and supports cultural diversity.
GO-MAP's Advisory Board consists of faculty, staff and students whose advice is key to the success of our signature events: the fall GO-MAP new student orientation, Getting Connected; the spring campus visit for accepted students, Prospective Student Days; the GO-MAP Power Hour series; the End of Year Celebration; and the Mangels Lecture Series. With generous support from the Offices of the President and Provost, GO-MAP sponsors interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary student-initiated symposia, campus opportunities, and community events to help interested students connect with each other and build community.
We invite you to become part of our campus community as you prepare for a rewarding life of work rooted in diverse intellectual engagement and experience.
