About
Summa Academia emerged as a collaboration between El Centro de la Raza, ENLACE Statewide Collaborative, the Division for Equity & Inclusion, and the Health Science Center Office for Diversity Equity & Inclusion. This program was born out of a need to support underrepresented graduate students at the University of New Mexico (UNM). Its emphasis is to help graduate students succeed in their academic programs. Throughout this two-semester cohort program, experienced faculty members and professionals share their expertise with graduate students on how to navigate the complex systems of graduate education and how to plan for academic careers. All graduate students- Master, PhD and Professional students are encouraged to apply!
