In case you haven’t heard, GMU is a recently formed student organization that is focused on using peer mentorship to achieve greater success for McKnight Fellows and other graduate students at the University of Florida. Using the abundance
of advanced training that McKnight Fellows have received from the Florida Education Fund, GMU is focused on ensuring that ALL graduate students at the University of Florida have the knowledge, skill, and abilities to become significant contributors to the
field through the professoriate and/ or industry work.
Please come join GMU in working together to elevate professional and personal development for graduate students throughout UF. As a collective, there is a vast amount of expertise and experiences that can be translated through mentorship
to help promote the retention and graduation of doctoral students at the University of Florida. Overall, the goal is to get the DEGREE and this organization is dedicated to using the resources available to graduate students to make that happen.
We can help YOU!
