Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Students are drawn to UCR because our graduate population is more diverse than most, because they want to work with our diverse undergraduate population, and because they will be mentored by faculty members who are committed to diversity and inclusion and who identify as belonging to a group that is underrepresented in their fields.
