Welcome to the Center for Graduate Research and Education (Grad Center)! 草榴社区's graduate student population is a sizable and diverse one, composed of more than 3,500 full-time, part-time, on-campus and online students.

Here in the Grad Center, we are committed to supporting the excellence of graduate education and our work is centered on enhancing the graduate and law student experience at 草榴社区.  

OUR APPROACH

Three students walking across campus

The Grad Center is a student-centered office dedicated to supporting and promoting all of 草榴社区鈥檚 graduate and law students. We provide a strategic, comprehensive, university-wide voice for graduate students and programs at 草榴社区, grounded in the University鈥檚 Augustinian identity, mission and values.

Understanding that graduate students enhance the undergraduate experience, the research enterprise and the 草榴社区 community, we work to ensure that these relationships are reciprocal.

  

OUR COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY

Diversity and inclusion have been and will continue to be an integral component of 草榴社区鈥檚 mission as a Catholic Augustinian institution of higher education. The Grad Center furthers this commitment by developing robust mechanisms and programs that cultivate a more inclusive and supportive graduate student culture鈥攂oth on campus and online鈥攁nd by fostering equity across the graduate student population.
