The IAD Graduate Group at UC Davis values a diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds, and experiences among its students—as this diversity strengthens and enriches our research, scholarship, and teaching. A diverse graduate student population also enhances the academic experiences for all students. Our group encourages interactions, interdisciplinary work, and group activities outside of class and students' primary research emphasis. There are various resources that potential and current IAD scholars can explore through UC Davis Graduate Studies.

We are committed to achieving diversity and a multicultural academic environment that supports the success of all graduate students. The graduate group promotes strategies to enrich the diversity of our students, staff, faculty, and programs and embraces the UC Davis Principles of Community and the diversity policy expressed by the University of California Regents.
