The Graduate Diversity Fellow Program is designed to direct aid to graduate students who have demonstrated academic achievement and overcome a disadvantage or other impediment to success in higher education. Candidates will contribute to the diversity of the student body by demonstrating their commitment to facilitating and enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion effects in their academic programs and activities. GDFs are employed in various departments across campus that contribute to SUNY Brockport’s EDI Strategic Plan.
All graduate/teaching assistantships are located in person, on either the Brockport campus (Brockport, NY) or Brockport Downtown (Rochester, NY).
