Experiences of Black Graduate Students at a Southern Research University [10].This topic generated rich discussion that brought into sharp focus areas where the Fellows’preconceptions about URM students’ experiences differed greatly from the students’ reports oftheir experiences. The discussion generated ideas that Fellows could use for preparing facultymembers to be mentors and giving incoming doctoral students ideas to promote their success inthe program.In November, the process evaluator administered surveys to faculty and graduate students in thesix departments represented by the Fellows. The surveys were designed to measure perceptionsof the department climate for diversity from the perspective of both faculty and students,opportunities afforded
