Graduate students – you have questions, we have answers! If you've ever wondered exactly what the Office of Graduate Education is all about, join us for come-and-go chats, either online or in person. In the morning, you can join online for as few or as many sessions as you wish. In the afternoon, we are in person, with ice cream (from Sweet Firefly 😊), snacks, hot drinks, and t-shirts waiting for you. Either way, you’ll better understand how OGE supports you.
