Welcome to a new monthlyemail from the Graduate School. Going forward, it will arrive the third Monday of each month and will pass along important details to help you prepare for next month’s academic and funding deadlines. It will also let you know about upcoming professional development offerings designed especially for graduate students. We hope you find it useful in tracking approaching deadlines and Graduate School sponsored opportunities.
