Description
|
UNC-Chapel Hill recently
initiated a campus-wide orientation for incoming doctoral
and master's students. The orientation dovetailed with
orientation programs conducted by specific
schools/departments and consisted of two general parts.
First, students had the opportunity to attend different
sessions (in a conference-like format) that were relevant to
all incoming graduate students. Topics included obtaining
on-going funding, academic resources on campus, and how to
achieve in-state residency for tuition purposes. The second
part gave students the opportunity to explore a Student
Services Information Fair. Following the format of an
undergraduate college fair, tables in a large auditorium
were staffed by representatives from various student service
offices on campus, as well as representatives from various
student organizations that could be of interest to incoming
students. Organizations represented included the graduate
student government and organizations for marginalized
students.
