New Graduate Student Orientation
The Graduate Student Services Office is excited to welcome you to ÐÓ°É´«Ã½! To help you start your graduate studies here at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½, be sure to register for one of the New Graduate Student Orientation sessions.
In addition to these orientations, new doctoral students will receive an invitation from the School of Graduate Studies to attend a special Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) session tentatively scheduled on Friday, January 23.
