Caltech's intertwined research and education mission is grounded in a belief in the profound importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in realizing our goal of "expand[ing] human knowledge and benefit[ing] society through research integrated with education." Caltech's Mission-Based Values

The Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI) program supports this goal by helping incoming graduate students gain the necessary social and cultural capital to successfully navigate graduate school.
