Partner Organizations


A strong graduate community begins with a dynamic and engaged applicant pool. At LGS, we are committed to expanding access to graduate education by partnering with organizations and programs that help us connect with highly qualified prospective students from different backgrounds and experiences. 

Through these partnerships, we aim to highlight our programs and create more pathways for students to explore and pursue advanced study at LGS. 

Over the years, LGS has engaged with prospective students through various partnerships and events. Many of our current students were introduced to LGS at the following conferences: 

  • AAAS Project on Science, Technology, and Disability. Entry Point! 
  • American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) 
  • Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minoritized Students (ABRCMS)

  • Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS)

These events and partnerships have been instrumental in building a strong and vibrant graduate community at LGS.
