We begin with a brief discussion of the building blocks of supersymmetric
grand unified theories. We recall some of the compelling theoretical reasons
for viewing supersymmetric grand unification as an attractive avenue for
physics beyond the standard model. This is followed by a discussion of some of
the circumstantial evidence for these ideas.Comment: 12 pages plain LaTeX to be run twice. Invited talk at the XII DAE
