Student Identity Groups & Resources
We want students to bring their full selves to graduate school. Here are some, but not all, of the resources that students of different identities have available.
Living in the Triangle
Our area of NC has a lot to offer. We have access to both nature and big cities, and both the mountains and the beaches are just a few hours away. On the map below, you can find out more about where our students live, what they like to do, and where they like to eat. See our page on Living in the Triangle for more information.
