The Center for Inclusive Excellence in Graduate Education (CIE) strives to connect undergraduate and graduate students with opportunities and information about graduate education; advocate for the value of inclusion and equity in academia; work to remove barriers to graduate education for all students; and engage with the internal and external campus community to support a diverse campus community.
Currently, CIE provides programs to supplement support for graduate students, prepares undergraduate students for graduate education, and offers resources and guidance for graduate recruitment and retention professionals at MU.
