Other Orientation and Welcome Events
Academic Department Orientation
Most department orientations are required. Check with your Department Administrator for more information.
Many departments hold academic orientations in addition to the OGA Orientation. You will meet faculty and fellow students during these orientations and learn about the department's academic policies. Graduate program staff will also attend these orientations to give you a brief overview of our services, programming, and professional development opportunities.
Information about Departmental Orientations will be sent directly by your program. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your department’s Department Administrator.
