This fall the Graduate School, in collaboration with the Council of Graduate Students, will hold a Welcome & Orientation event on Tuesday, August 26, 2014 from 8:30 a.m.-12 p.m. in Science Teaching and Student Services (STSS).
This event is designed to introduce new graduate and professional students to the University, the graduate community and the broad range of resources and services available to support their success. It is open to all incoming graduate and professional students and is intended to complement orientations provided by programs and colleges.
Following a welcome from the Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Education, students will have the opportunity to participate in small-group sessions on topics like grants and financial issues, professional development, working with an advisor, teaching and learning, health and wellbeing, and opportunities in leadership and governance.
Please do encourage your incoming students to attend. This event, provided just before students begin classes, will give them "just in time" information as well as a sense of the resources and opportunities available on campus.
For more information, please contact Char Voight, Assistant to the Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate Education, or visit www.grad.umn.edu/orientation. Thank you for your cooperation in helping make this transition to graduate school a successful one for our new students.
