Questions regarding admissions and recruiting.
You are about to embark on an exciting journey of self-improvement, professional growth, and academic excellence. We are excited to join you on this journey, beginning with Graduate School Orientation (GSO). Join us for an evening of fun and learning. Meet and network with your fellow new students and hear from current students and faculty! We have a special session for your guests as well. Bring them along so they can learn about your venture over the next few years and how to best support you.
Graduate School Orientation (GSO) also provides the opportunity to receive an overview of graduate school special events, professional development programs, social activities, funding opportunities, and the NEW Graduate Resource and Academic Development (G.R.A.D.) space.
