The Office for Graduate Student Engagement and Development (OGSED) is committed to expanding the diversity of the student body and enhancing the intellectual experience of the entire scholarly community. The OGSED coordinates efforts to recruit and retain students at the graduate school. The associate dean works collaboratively with departments and programs to support the needs of all students as they pursue graduate study. The following programs and activities fall under the purview of the OGSED: informal advising of prospective and current graduate students, the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program, the Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Programs, Recruitment Days, Preview Days, GSAS First-Year Focus, and the Annual Yale Bouchet Conference on Graduate Education. The assistant dean for access and engagement and annually appointed graduate student fellows assist with the development and implementation of these programs, as well as virtual recruitment fairs and webinars, small-group-discussion seminars, mentoring programs, workshops and lectures, and social and professional development events.
