Abstract
This talk will discuss the University of Minnesota Libraries' programming for the University of Minnesota Graduate School Diversity Office's Summer Institute (SI) which began in 2018 as a seven-week summer bridge program for newly admitted graduate students who are primarily students of color or are from other underrepresented groups. During the SI, participants attend seminars focusing on how to successfully acclimate to graduate school, receive an overview of various university services, as well as meet with peer mentors who are former SI participants. Working closely with a faculty mentor, each participant engages in a new research project culminating in a presentation at the end of the seven weeks. The goal of the research is not to complete an entire research project, but rather gain experience conducting research and writing that they will do in their graduate programs. In this talk, Kate Peterson and Brian Vetruba, the two librarians who organized and coordinated the Libraries' efforts in the SI, will provide an overview on how the Libraries' participation has evolved. They'll also share feedback from participants, the Graduate School, and librarians involved as well as thoughts on moving forward. Finally, they'll offer tips for other librarians who wish to do something similar at their own institutions.
