Unity Week: Make A Way

It’s Unity Week here at The University of Toledo, and there is a lot going on! Organized by the Office of Student Involvement, Unity Week is designed to engage students in conversations about unity and acceptance. In sticking with this goal, below is some information on graduate diversity at The University of Toledo.

The importance of diversity to the graduate community is evident when looking at the variety of backgrounds our graduate students represent. In fall of 2012 over 20% of applicants admitted to The University of Toledo at the graduate level were international students or reported being from an ethnic minority. International applicants for that term came from China, India, France and Saudi Arabia in addition to many others.

The College of Graduate Studies has been proactive in efforts to attract a diverse pool of qualified applicants to the University of Toledo. In the past several years, the graduate college has increased support for underrepresented minorities through the promotion of the Graduate Opportunity Assistantship Program and the McNair Scholars Program. The College of Graduate Studies has also supported initiatives to promote women in the STEMM fields and has raised awareness of federal funding resources for our students.
