The Graduate School's New Student Orientation: An In-Depth Look
As departments and programs develop their Summer/Fall 2021 orientations, The Graduate School invites you to learn more about our experiences in building and implementing our orientation program. The information in this session may be helpful to you as you prepare and implement your department orientation. We will share the philosophy that guides our planning and implementation, as well as discuss our transition to an online orientation format. Additionally, we will demonstrate some of the orientation modules and discuss assessment results we have received over the past few years regarding what students have found most helpful. TGS orientation serves all graduate students, so we will also speak to how we strive to meet a wide variety of general student needs (e.g., Ph.D., Master's, regional campuses, UCH, etc.). There will also be an opportunity to discuss ways in which The Graduate School and departments can collaborate further to help graduate students transition to graduate school.
