Our History
The Graduate School at the University of Maryland has participated in the Institute for Recruitment of Teachers (IRT) Consortium of Colleges & Universities for over 15 years and has attracted IRT students to graduate programs at UMD since 1992. The University of Maryland, Office of Graduate Recruitment and Community (OGRC), goes beyond recruiting exceptional IRT scholars—we invest in their entire graduate experience.

To enhance already existing international collaborations, the Graduate School encourages faculty members to nominate students for an IGRF to offer students a short-term research experience with partners overseas. Involving graduate students in an existing collaboration can strengthen the activity, provide new perspectives on ongoing projects, and identifynew areas of research.
