The Students of Color Dinner Series, now in its 31st year, continues to make a significant impact on the graduate school experience for students from underrepresented populations. Five annual dinners each attract between 50 and 100 students who find the dinners a helpful and enjoyable venue through which to make social and professional connections with other members of underrepresented groups from the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and Duquesne University. Programs have featured faculty and administrators from Pitt and across the nation discussing their published works, providing insights on their life experiences, and discussing topics crucial to the graduate experience.
