To help ensure that your transition is a successful one, the Graduate Program staff hosts an online prework session and an in-residence orientation program to assist you. These programs are held in advance of the first day of the semester and are at no cost to students. This is a mandatory event and all graduate students are expected to attend.
The goal of the orientation is to provide all graduate students with the following three objectives:
This goal is accomplished through two phases:
By participating in your orientation program, you will have an opportunity to meet, network, and build relationships with other graduate students, learn about various resources available to you, refine your leadership skills, and get a head start on your career search.
