Meet new graduate students and help the Graduate School!

Would you like to meet new graduate students and help them become familiar with the expectations of graduate school? If your answer is yes – you may be interested in being a facilitator for our orientation program.  Faculty, staff, and graduate students are welcome to serve in this role.

Orientation is August 24th, 2011 beginning at 8:30am and ending after lunch (no later than 1pm).  We need facilitators to help lead discussion at a table with 7 new graduate students.  We offer training to new facilitators, and our graduate students consistently rank the discussions at their tables as one of their favorite parts of our program.
