The Dos and Don'ts of Applying to Graduate School Presentation

We at the Office of Student Affairs (OSA) know that a large percentage of you are taking courses in preparation for applying to a graduate program. We also know that often times you have questions about preparing for graduate school, but aren't sure who to ask. To help get our students started on the right track, OSA held its first workshop yesterday: The Dos and Don'ts of Applying to Graduate School . While many of you were able to attend, we know that some of you could not. So we're making the presentation slides available for you to download. Just click on the link above, take a look at the information, jot down any questions you have and contact us if you would like to meet with an advisor. Good Luck!
