Greetings Everyone,
I hope you are having a lovely week so far. I am so excited to share that we launched the Inclusive Academy Symposium website and our promotional video on Friday!
We have been working very hard to put this symposium together and can’t wait to gather with all of you next month. We have an incredible slate of speakers, workshops, and panels. When I tell you that we have poured our heart and soul in this symposium, we have given it everything with you in mind. Please register before seats fill up and most importantly please nominate your fellow graduate students, faculty, postdocs, and staff who are doing amazing work to support the graduate community around diversity and inclusion.

During the program, Freshman Scholars immerse themselves in the intellectually vibrant culture at Princeton through two credit-bearing seminar-style courses and/or laboratory research experiences. They engage with fellow scholars in a variety of co-curricular, community-building activities and work closely with faculty members from a range of academic disciplines and fields. By experiencing early the many resources that Princeton has to offer, Freshman Scholars have the chance to prepare themselves to be future campus leaders and peer mentors. Find out more about FSI here: https://fsi.princeton.edu/
In the summer of 2022, FSI will begin on July 4th(Monday) and conclude on August 25th (Thursday). The Resident Graduate Students (RGSes) play a crucial role in the administration of the program, serving as liaisons between the undergraduate students (participants and Residential College Advisers) and FSI program administrators.
