Orientation 2008
Welcome new graduate students!
Graduate Student Orientation activities will begin August 2008. Please check with your individual program and school to see what specific activities you should attend. When you arrive, you'll find a blue folder with lots of orientation information and a Graduate Student Handbook & Agenda Planner in your department mailbox. The Graduate Student Handbook & Agenda Planner will have lots of useful information to support your success at Brandeis.
In the meantime, mark your calendars and please join us for a box-luncheon on Monday, August 25, at noon on Chapels Field to meet other students in your program, to meet other graduate students from the three schools, and to meet some folks who will be critical to know in the coming months.
On Tuesday, August 26, at 3 p.m. in Levin Ballroom, we'll host a welcome reception with lots of food and drink. We’ll celebrate your arrival at Brandeis University.
Welcome
The Office of Graduate Student Affairs works with all of the Brandeis graduate programs to provide a strong and supportive graduate student environment. Programs to enhance students’ social and academic lives are planned throughout the year and include topics such as writing for publication, designing a research paper or topic, navigating the healthcare system, career planning after your degree, and more.
The Office of Graduate Student Affairs advises graduate student government at Brandeis, the Graduate Student Association (GSA), and cosponsors many of their activities. Go to their Web site to join the GSA listserv—a great way to stay informed about what’s going on and get involved in graduate student life.
One of the goals of Graduate Student Affairs is to provide you with information about graduate student life on the Brandeis campus, as well as to give general information about some other resources. Please visit this Web site for regular updates and check your email for news from us.
For information about academic-related resources, please refer to the student handbooks provided by your own graduate school.
Welcome to Brandeis. We hope you will enjoy your time here.
