The Graduate Financial Support Unit and partners have been working tirelessly on the intricate and tremendous changes. These are news items and updates since March 2022.

With the implementation of current ESR projects and more coming soon, it has become more important than ever to audit processes, increase community communication and enhance the many intertwined partnerships throughout the Graduate Financial Support ecosystem. Processes have been, and continue to be mapped, adjusted, moved, shared, and explained, all with an emphasis on critical pathways to successful graduate student support.
