We hope you will join us on Aug. 23 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at West Marston Lawn.


Welcome remarks

You’ll have an opportunity to connect with university leadership, who will provide welcome remarks at 10 a.m. in the Hoover Hall Auditorium. After their remarks, current graduate students will share valuable insights on maximizing opportunities, navigating challenges, and achieving personal and professional growth.

Starting at 10:30 a.m., a resource fair and breakout sessions will be available in the Student Innovation Center. Representatives from departments and organizations across campus will be available to offer guidance and answer your questions. You can also have a professional headshot taken during this time.
