GO-MAP (http://www.grad.washington.edu/gomap/default.htm) is a division of the University of Washington's Graduate School.

Aside from supporting UW graduate students both personally and professionally, GO-MAP offers scholarships for UW graduate and professional students, holds events throughout the year, sponsors lecture series and symposia, and supports student participation in national conferences. GO-MAP also co-sponsors many EIP events, including the Annual Spring Research Conference held every May.
