As the first university center in Puerto Rico, the University of Puerto Rico Río Piedras Campus has set the development and strengthening of graduate education as its first priority mission. DEGI has a central role in achieving that goal. In turn, the Assistant Dean’s Office for Graduate Student Affairs directly contributes to encouraging students of excellent academic performance to study at our campus. Once incorporated in our community, we work by creating, coordinating, and arranging services to enrich their student life.
