  4. What does research say about social and academic integration of cld students? • Graduate students identifying as racial and/or ethnic minority group may experience difficulty integrating socially and academically into their graduate program (Clark, Mercer, Zeigler-Hill, & Dufrene, 2012; Maton et al., 2011; Proctor & Truscott, 2012) • Opportunities to facilitate these students’ integration into the social and academic life of graduate education should be built into the programs strategically and systematically (Proctor, Simpson, Levin, & Hackimer, in press; Proctor & Truscott, 2012).
