Fall 2008 Convocation for New Graduate Students -- August 22

New graduate students are invited to the Convocation for New Graduate Students on Friday, August 22, 2008, beginning at 9:00 a.m., in Loeb Playhouse. University, Graduate School, and community leaders will address a number of opportunities and responsibilities that accompany graduate study.

Following the Convocation, at about 10:00 a.m., there will be an information fair and informal breakfast in Stewart Center 202 and 214. Many campus offices and community organizations will be on hand to visit informally with graduate students.

Back in Loeb Playhouse, at 11:00 a.m., graduate staff benefits will be explained. This session will be especially helpful to graduate research assistants, graduate teaching assistants, graduate lecturers, and graduate administrative/professionals.

Please make plans to spend the morning of August 22 with the Graduate School. More information will be sent via email to new graduate students as the Fall semester approaches.

Associate Dean of the Graduate School
