“The AMIGA training constitutes both an education and a form of mobilization for a better-informed, more effective, self-reflective, collaborative and dialogic admissions process.”
— AMIGA faculty participant
The AMIGA project establishes holistic graduate admission methods in participating graduate programs at two UC campuses and in collaboration with Dr. Julie Posselt at the University of Southern California. By employing equitable admission practices the result may be that more talented, competitive applicants are admitted, who represent an expanded range of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. The AMIGA project also embodies UC’s commitment to Inclusive Excellence. Funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the AMIGA project illuminates the significant role that graduate admission plays in shaping our present and future intellectual communities to include a full spectrum of cultures and viewpoints that bring a broadening array of talents and skills.
