The Thought Project Podcast At The Graduate Center

Robin L. Garrell started her role as president of The Graduate Center, CUNY in early August – just about 100 days ago. An accomplished biomedical engineer, she was previously vice provost for graduate education and dean of the graduate division at UCLA. In this episode, she reflects on moving across the country to lead The Graduate Center during a pandemic and how she is approaching important issues in her new role. These include increasing diversity, keeping students engaged in a remote environment, and preparing students for careers within and beyond higher education. ​
