* Students Graduating in May 2015 UIC Graduate Pathways to Success Program Activity Spring Term January - April, 2015 The Graduate Pathways to Success Program was developed to facilitate the academic and social transition of underrepresented students to graduate degree program (PhD) at the University of Illinois at Chicago and to ensure their success in those programs. The GPS program operates during the academic year. All GPS participants are underrepresented minority UIC students and are required to complete graduate degree applications prior to completion of their baccalaureate degrees. The GPS program builds on our experiences from our SROP program and The Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate, both of which have had excellent graduate placement records over the last years. The GPS program began in September 2008 with 17 underrepresented minority UIC students as the successor to our McNair Program. Services currently provided is: *Faculty mentoring and undergraduate research experiences * A series of workshops on research-oriented and graduate-school oriented topics. * Advisement on research and graduate admission assignments.
