beyond. As the Dean, I am in constant admiration for the successes of our graduates and grateful to the faculty and staff who continue to create excellent research, academic and scholarship opportunities for our current graduate students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022,&nbsp;91¸£Àû reached a critical milestone in its&nbsp;history by becoming a top-tiered R1-designated&nbsp;institution under the Carnegie Classification. The designation affirms that&nbsp;we have been creating a modern 21st-century research&nbsp;university, with nationally and internationally recognized programs of global impact and local relevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is on the heels of such an accomplishment that we have established the Graduate Centennial lmpact Fund to serve the mission of the Graduate School and further grow graduate education, scholarship, and research experiences for our students to meet the demands of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your gift to the Graduate School Centennial Impact Fund supports the critical needs of our four fundraising pillars outlined below. If you wish to become involved or invest in the Centennial, or discuss how your support may be most helpful, please contact Lyz Teixeira at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"
