COVID-19 and Vulnerable Students

The COVID-19 pandemic presented new obstacles to the matriculation, persistence and completion of U.S. graduate students, with low-income students at greatest risk for educational disruptions. CGS collaborated with the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE) and the Council of Historically Black Graduate Schools (CHBGS), with funding from NSF-RAPID, to provide just-in-time interventions to support these students’ success.

Resources for HSIs

Latinx graduate students remain disproportionately underrepresented in U.S. higher education. Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) are in a particularly strong position to catalyze change, but institutions of all types have a role to play. CGS’ research and toolkit provide a framework for accessing and implementing the resources needed to improve outcomes for Latinx students.
