Graduate Student Orientation

Thursday, August 16, 2012
The 2012 Graduate School Orientation is a half day event for all new graduate students beginning their graduate career during the 2012-2013 academic cycle. The goal of the Orientation is to provide valuable campus and community information as well as foster connections between and among students across campus.
The Orientation includes several brief information sessions followed by a Student Services Fair to include numerous campus and local resources. Immediately following the Fair, you are invited to a reception at the Carolina Club hosted by The Graduate School and the Graduate and Professional Student Federation (GPSF). Please contact Lou Anne Phelps, laphelps@email.unc.edu or (919) 962-8145, with questions. We look forward to seeing you at Orientation!
The online Graduate School Orientation registration deadline is Sunday, August 12, 2012 at midnight.
