Welcome to the Student-Faculty Programs Office! We support Caltech's educational and research mission by providing programs and support for undergraduate research, diversity graduate school recruitment efforts, and effective and inclusive mentoring. We are invested and dedicated to student engagement, growth, and success.
Undergrads, do you want to:
- Explore your interests by doing cutting-edge research with Caltech faculty through SURF, WAVE, or one of our many undergraduate research programs?
- Participate in academic and professional development activities, such as networking, connecting with faculty, and graduate school application prep?
Prospective graduate students, would you like to:
- Learn more about diversity and inclusion efforts at Caltech?
- Or connect with us at conferences or through other DEI recruitment efforts?
Graduate students, postdocs, and faculty, are you interested in:
- Building your mentoring toolbox to provide effective and inclusive mentoring?
- Support DEI efforts by mentoring a WAVE student, participating in graduate DEI recruitment efforts, or serving as a non-research mentor to summer students or incoming graduate students?
Alumni, parents, and friends, would you like to:
- Support students by giving your time, expertise, or funding?
