    We believe that graduate students deserve opportunities to contribute meaningfully to their fields and to be recognized for their work. 

    Signature events like Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) and the Graduate Research Conference empower students to share their research with clarity and impact across disciplines and audiences, elevating student voices and showcasing the real-world value of graduate research.

    Community Development

    We believe that strong scholarship grows from strong community. 

    Through programs like the Moorhead Writing Academy, Weekly Writing Group, and Community Lunches, we create intentional spaces for students to connect, share, and support one another, fostering a collaborative culture of belonging that sustains graduate success.
