Second, it leverages existing graduate classes and research facilities in Grady, aiming to bolster faculty mentoring and collaboration with graduate students. Third, it provides a forum for new insights, conversation, and shared learning, cultivating an intellectually vibrant climate built on Grady’s theoretical and methodological diversity.
