The Office of Educational Opportunity and Diversity Programs serves the City University of New York through the recruitment of students from underrepresented groups to its doctoral programs and the administration of MAGNET, a key fellowship program at The Graduate Center.

In the following pages, you will find out more about the MAGNET (Minority Access/Graduate Networking) fellowship program, which has been specifically designed to provide academic, social and financial support to underrepresented doctoral scholars; the J. Bruce Llewellyn Fellowship for students in science, engineering, mathematics, business, and economics; and the Dean K. Harrison Award which provides general support for students. There is a configuration of each of these awards which applies to entering and continuing students.

Through the CUNY Pipeline Program for Careers in College Teaching and Research, undergraduate students under the supervision of a faculty research mentor, are able to develop research skills in their chosen discipline in preparation for doctoral study and a career as a member of the professoriate.

Postdoctoral fellowships support CUNY alumni (ae) by providing teaching, research and administrative opportunities in higher education.

Thus, by reaching out across the University, as well as nationally, and providing opportunities for individuals from undergraduate through postdoctoral status, OEODP promotes access and excellence through diversity.
