Graduate Student Success (GSS)
Graduate Student Success (GSS) works in partnership with faculty and staff in departments and schools across the University to facilitate the academic success of all graduate students. We offer a continuum of services that supports students' academic achievement from early recruitment stages through final placement.
Our goal is to facilitate the academic success of graduate students by partnering with departments, schools and colleges across the University. Our services begin with early recruitment efforts and the Graduate School shares the University's commitment to attracting a highly qualified, diverse student community. We offer summer programs that help prospective graduate school applicants and incoming graduate students preview the expectations and demands of academic careers. By providing resources and programming for the departmental faculty and staff who guide graduate students' progress, we support the academic success of currently enrolled graduate students.
