The California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education University of
California, Davis (Davis, CA), November 3, 2007
The California Forum for Diversity in Graduate Education had its origin
in a series of meetings in 1990 among graduate deans and their staff from
the University of California and California State University systems. The
Forum was developed to inform students from groups that were significantly
underrepresented in American graduate education about the career
opportunities and academic challenges associated with advanced study in a
wide range of disciplines. It was designed to tap into the growing pool of
highly qualified undergraduate and master's-level students already
attending California colleges and universities. The scope of the effort
has expanded to the point where a typical Forum serves 800 to 1,200
students. Independent colleges and universities have joined the Consortium
and have now hosted one-third of the Forums that have been held. For
