I hope your semester is going well and that you’re enjoying the beautiful weather. Spring break is around the corner and Convocation will be here before we know it. Even though most all of us are incredibly busy at this time of the semester, I encourage you to take some time to get out and take in the colors and sounds of spring around campus and Austin.
Below is the first edition of a newsletter for graduate students. The goal of the newsletter is to share resources from the Graduate School and our campus partners, to celebrate the accomplishments of graduate students and to provide reminders about important upcoming deadlines. We will send a newsletter each month throughout the spring semester. If you have ideas about additional information you would like to see in future newsletters, let us know. We’d love to hear from you at graduateschool@austin.utexas.edu.
As recently announced, the Graduate School is hosting a series of informal sessions during March to welcome graduate students for coffee and snacks in our offices. The sessions offer the chance to meet other graduate students from across campus and learn about resources available to you.
I will be at all sessions and hope to meet you and learn more about your experiences as a graduate student. Additionally, I look forward to other opportunities to engage with graduate students and meet with programs across campus.
Sincerely,
