Objective: The extended graduate orientation program is an optional, but strongly recommended, activity for beginning graduate students. The main purposes are to introduce incoming students to the style and pace of our graduate courses, bringing everybody up to speed for Fall classes; and to help create from the very beginning a supportive social environment in which graduate students, faculty, and staff can all work most effectively.
